This is also the only #SundayFunnies Wilder film I've seen before, & only Cagney comedy. But I do remember reading he used to be a song & dance man before the gangster movies.

I saw M (1931) this week & found it interesting to read that Peter Lorre was mainly known for doing comedies (in the theatre) before that film typecast him as a villain.

Brilliant character actor Peter Lorre (1904-1964) born in Hungary of Jewish descent. Having already gained fame for his performance in 1934 German film M directed by Fritz Lange, Lorre's first English language film was Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much. At the time Lorre was living in London, having left Germany to escape the Nazi rise in power. He learned his English lines phonetically. American films Mad Love & Crime & Punishment soon followed as well as some iconic horror film performances
