After Peter Lorre left Nazi Germany, what was his first major movie role? (The movie title, please. And any other info you care to share.)
I'd say it was Hitchcock's first version of
The Man Who Knew Too Much - the version that was made in England.
Lorre's English was very weak at that point, and he had to learn his lines phonetically. Did a very good job of it, too.

The film in question is on everyone's top 100 list. (Vintage Hollywood film, in color - that should narrow it down a bit.)

Well, I know the woman is Julie, but I forgot who the man is. I'd rather be half-right than half-crazy!
So I guess I'm just half-stumped?
(Can I ask half a question?)
