I always feel bad for Peter Lorre when seeing him play yet another evil-doer on film; exempting maybe Malcolm McDowell, never has an actor been so consistently type-casted as a baddie. Even Peter Cushing gets the opportunity to play Van Helsing once in a while!

The four of swords is a card about contemplation, and ‘a great focus in life’. Reversed it can be stagnation or precaution. So I decided upon the most patient Lorre character of all: professor Sturm from Nancy Steele is Missing. This character quietly observed his celmate, remembered every little piece of information he let slip. Biding his time and sitting out his sentence for seventeen years (!), he waited for the moment he could get out and claim his reward. #peterlorre #tarot #fanart #art
