In the pages of
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen D. Youngkin recounts the making of
Casablanca. Although Peter considered the movie unimportant, his performance in
Casablanca led to the offer of a long-term contract at Warner Bros.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre is available for the Kindle and Nook, as well as both hard-back and soft-bound editions.
