huston loved those statuettes


the last shot is the camera coming in on the statue of Kwan Yin....very similar to the final shot in The Maltese Falcon...John Huston's first major success...coincidence I think not....Greenstreet, Lorre and that statuette..

Too bad Greenstreet & Lorre never took home the little *golden statuette* nor, to my knowledge, were ever nominated for academy awards.

Who knows how Peter Lorre might have turned out, had he been given just a little bit more respect and recognition in Hollywood? Avoided his drinking problem, perhaps, that had plagued the later years of his career?
