Sydney Greenstreet & Peter Lorre : A Retrospective 

I’ve been a h͏u͏ge͏ fan of both actors for many years. It was a pleasure watching this. Much appreciated!

This was absolutely delightful!! I’m in a Peter Lorre hyperfixation hell and this fed it so, thank you lol

Two memorable and unique actors who gave us great performances. Thank you for this presentation.

Well done tribute. This video deserves more views! 👍👍👍

Impeccably done. Thank you so much!

Excellent text. Narration hard to comprehend at times.

I really enjoyed this. Very well done!

Attori GRANDISSIMI i films che hanno interpretato restano nella storia del cinema ancora oggi esercitano un interesse e un fascino intramontabili.Sono i films che insieme ai Western Preferisco ed amo di più. Straordinari e mitici.

Very good I enjoyed it very much thank you 😊

Just subscribed. Good video.

Back in the forties after the success of The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, Greenstreet and Lorre were billed as the “fat man and the little man.” They were unforgettable.

What a lovely tribute to two wonderful, charismatic and intelligent actors! I also love "Dimitrios" and "Three Strangers". As a tiny difference of opinion, I don't feel that Johnny West is conventional in any real sense as a romantic lead or a hero: he's an alcoholic dreamer, led into a terrible situation, needing protection he's lucky enough to get. He's philosophical; good but rather weak; clear-sighted but unable to take real action. While it would have been fascinating to see what an actor like Errol Flynn (undervalued as a dramatic actor), I'm so glad the role went to Lorre, so that we could see both what he could bring to the character and what the character could feed to him.

Great clips and content information, but I have a hard time clearly making out your narration but my ears have been plugged up recently. I'm in the U.S. so that's part of the problem with the accent. I'm part Irish on my mom's side (Reel) but that goes back a way. The Sanderson side came over many years earlier to Massachusetts from England, though my Great-great-grandfather in Ohio/Indiana married an English woman who became my Great-great grandmother. So I'll have to place blame on my ears right now. I do disagree and think "The Conspirators" was a great film. The casino scene was well done and supposedly inspired future scenes in James Bond and others. I wish Lorre and Greenstreet had more to do in it as the trailer implied, but the scenes they were in were top notch. Lorre and Greenstreet contributed greatly. Hedy Lamarr worked with Lorre when she was a teenager as Hedy Kiesler in a German film, and they had a time teasing each other with Greenstreet when they worked on "The Conspirators" ...filming got bogged down at one point with their off screen playfulness and kidding. Hedy was prevented from working on "Casablanca" as Louis B. Mayer would not loan her to Warner having her slated to work in 3 MGM films at the time. She later worked on a radio version of "Casablanca" and she was very good as Ilsa. It's here on RU-vid. "The Conspirators" also starred great character actor Joseph Calleia as the Lisbon police captain...he was the police inspector in "Algiers" who introduced Hedy to Charles Boyer's character while getting her away from the gunfire. Paul Henreid was very good as well. Sadly stories of the early films are tainted by idiot critics and mindless gossips. The truth can only be strained from the finished film and the written memories these days. And it can be a balancing act. Better references and gut determinations are hard to find.

2 great thespians who always gave excellent performances!
