Peter Lorre's eyes


Of course Peter Lorre's eyes are quite haunting when they are wide open with terror, especially during the manhunt. But to me, there was another eery thing about them: He hardly ever seems to blink. Did anybody else notice this?

IMO Peter Lorre looked creepy all the time in all of his movies anyway. It's hard to explain but if I was looking for the neighborhood child molester I talk to him first. He just looks and acts creepy all the time.

Maybe he was creepy in real life.

His eyes always look creepy.

Good observation.
He had eyes that looked like they were about to pop out and in this film, that really contributes to his performance as the murderer.
