The Peter Lorre Club

Welcome to the club for fans of one of cinema's greatest character actors.

News:
I'm sorry to announce that I will probably be unable to include links to Peter Lorre DVDs because of a strange glitch on DA in which URLs are often mistaken for smiley-faces. Until I can find a way to rectify this, the DVDs section has been removed.

How to Join the Crew(s):

1. Send a PM with the subject line "CREW" and include the name of the character and/or movie you want. As soon as possible, I will add you to the list.

2. In either your signature or your journal (or both, if you like), please include the phrase "I'm (name of character/movie) in the Peter Lorre Character (or Movie) Crew!" with a link back to the club. (For example: I'm Joel Cairo in the Peter Lorre Character Crew!) This well help others to learn about the crew.

3. You do not have to be in the club to be in the crew, but it would be nice if you were. Likewise, you certainly don't have to be in the crew to be in the club. Also, you don't have to be in both crews (but you can if you like), and you don't have to choose a matching movie and character (e.g., if you claimed Ugarte, you don't have to also claim Casablanca--but you can if you want to!).

4. Each person can only claim one character and movie; once a character/movie is claimed, no one else can claim it. If at any time you change your mind and decide you want a different character/movie, just PM the club and ask to have a different one; I'll gladly change it.

5. Peter Lorre was in a LOT of movies, so I've only included a few select characters/movies in the crews. If you want to claim one that's not on the list, PM me and I'll add it.
