PETER LORRE AND SYDNEY GREENSTREET: FILM NOIR’S GREATEST ODD COUPLE Crime Reads. A fun read for anyone as fond as I am of Greenstreet, Lorre, Eric Ambler, and Istanbul.
Disappointingly, Netflix has few of the Greenstreet/Lorre classics mentioned in the article (and as one wag said of my cable subscription, it consists only of the box – no classic movie channels for me). I just happened to see a Hitchcock TV episode that had Lorre circa ?62? a week or so ago and Lorre did not look good in it health wise. Still, the episode where he plays a man who engages in a wager with Steve McQueen for McQueen’s finger is a role that was perfect for Lorre.
