Known as the first modern detective story, Edgar Allan Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a quick but fascinating read. What makes it interesting is that it is as much about Poe's detective, Dupin, and the workings of his mind as it is about the murders.

The tale’s murders involve two women, and Poe spent his adult life with his wife, Virginia, and his aunt, Maria “Muddy” Clemm. The deaths of women resonate with Poe’s early childhood experience of watching his mother die and Francis Allan suffer.
Murders in the Rue Morgue: Directed by Robert Florey. With Sidney Fox, Bela Lugosi, Leon Ames, Bert Roach. A mad scientist seeks to mingle human blood with that of an ape, and resorts to kidnapping women for his experiments.
An interesting adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE concentrates heavily on costumes (which are admittedly classy) and scenery at the cost of atmosphere and suspense.
