Quite at ease playing zany neurotics,
Japanese, or else any exotics
This character star
From the bar won't stray far
As he freezes his brain with narcotics.
David Cairns
According to The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, as a young man, Lorre suffered a ruptured appendix and underwent surgery. When a second surgeon treated further complications in 1925, he prescribed morphine to soothe the discomfort. This was the beginning of Lorre's lifelong dependence on morphine.
