Doctor Gogol from Mad Love. Have you seen that one yet?
No; it's one of my weird gaps. I've seen much more obscure films with Lorre, but not his second appearance in English and his first high-profile. I have no idea why.
Only Peter Lorre can get away with frequenting a snuff theater (Grand Guignol with the numbers filed off), stalking the heroine, attending beheadings for the fun of it, and gaslighting his mentally unstable patients, and STILL be lovable and pitiable and the woobie of the story.
Aw.
Runner-up, Dr. Rotwang, but you know about me and him already.
He's the guy on my icon . . .
I love Peter Cushing!Dr. Frankenstein, but the other two got to me first.
I loved Cushing's Frankenstein, but at least in his first outing (I haven't seen the sequels yet) he didn't grip me more than his Van Helsing, who is unfortunately disqualified from this list by being a totally rational human being.
