There are some names that are just synonymous with the Film Noir movement that really came into its own shortly after the end of World War Two. Peter Lorre is definitely right up there on that list of actors and stars who shined brighter in the low light and the stark contrast. The shadows where you never knew your friends from your enemies. The dawn of the Cold War was upon America and we saw it reflected in the ways we dressed, the books we read, and the films that people went out and saw in theaters when the floor lights dimmed.
