That's interesting. And the trouble with making a debut in a film like that is the risk of type casting, I suppose. I can think of three others where they appeared together: Casablanca, Background to Danger and Mask of Dimitrios. Can't think of the other two right now.

In Hollywood Canteen, Lorre and Greenstreet play themselves as if they were their typecasts in order to scare the pants off of a gunnery sergeant who wouldn't leave one of the Andrews Sisters alone.

Check out "Stagedoor Canteen" and "Thank Your Lucky Stars", as well.
(In "Thank Your Lucky Stars" Bette Davis sings (well, sort of), John Garfield strangles Eddie Cantor (realizing the dreams of many), and S.Z. Sakall intimidates Humphrey Bogart.)
