Essential Cinema  The Eyes of Peter Lorre

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

When a gifted pianist’s hands are crushed in an accident, his fiancée, a beautiful actress in the Grand Guignol Theatre, reaches out to her biggest fan, a gifted but twisted surgeon (Peter Lorre, of course), in hopes that he will repair the man’s musical fingers again. An absolute showcase for Lorre’s histrionic abilities and a wonderful example of the German expressionist influence on classic horror. In 35mm.
