Murders in the Rue Morgue, the 1971 Gordon Hessler English crime horror detective thriller ("LOVE and MURDER are the two consuming passions of the Rue Morgue!"; "Rue Morgue... where sighs of passion end in screams of TERROR!"; "A sigh... a gasp... a scream!"; "Night has fallen on the Rue Morgue."; "Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece of horror..."; "Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece of the grotesque"; "A sigh of PASSION! A scream of TERROR! And the scratch of claws on the cobblestones. These are the sounds of MURDER in the RUE MORGUE!"; "EDGAR ALLAN POE tells his masterpiece of horror..."; "Based on the novel by Edgar Allan Poe") starring Jason Robards Jr., Christine Kaufmann, Herbert Lom, Adolfo Celi, Michael Dunn, and Lilli Palmer (billed as "also starring Lilli Palmer as Madeleine's Mother"). Note that while many consider this film to be a horror story, it is actually a detective story. Poe's character of C. Auguste Dupin was the prototype of the fictional detective using logic and deduction to solve his cases.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with this pressbook), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!

Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS.
