PARIS 1899. The quiet of the still, misty night is pierced by a series of screams coming from a four-story house on the corner of the rue Morgue. Inside, two women are found dead, and the Prefect of Police is baffled. There is no apparent motive for the crimes, and only two obvious clues: judging from the state of the victims, the murders were committed by someone of immense power; and the killer is seemingly capable of disappearing into thin air, for the only possible means of escape is through a fourth-story window. Claire (Rebecca De Mornay) hopes that the case will pique her fatherâ??s interest, for Auguste Dupin (George C. Scott), once Franceâ??s finest detective, has lost his sense of purpose since his enforced retirement from the police force. But though the mysterious killings would have intrigued him in the old days, Dupin is at first indifferent to the case. He is galvanized into action, however, when Claireâ??s fiancé, Dolph, is arrested for the murders on the grounds that he was the last person to see the two women alive. All of Dupinâ??s old instincts resurface as he determines to solve the mystery of the murders in t Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is the movie version of the retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story of the same title. Several murders take place, the most prolific is that of two women as they are attacked on the fourth floor of the house on Rue Morgue. Auguste Dupin, a former police chief and fine detective, decides to take on this case when his soon to be son-in-law is accused of the murder. The acting in this movie was under-par, even though the story line was very interesting.
