Anecdotes
Double assassinat dans la rue Morgue (1986) was shot in Paris. Location shooting included at Notre Dame Cathedral, the Place de l'Opéra and in Buttes-Chaumont, a park that stands in for the Bois de Boulogne of 1899. About 30% of the film was shot away from the city, such as the prison sequences which were shot in Corbeil, Marne.

Gaffes
The old woman's body must have been thrown from the windows at the front of the house rather than those at the back, as it lands on a grassy patch of some sort rather than in the back alley. However, the newspapers report that a crowd of people had already gathered at the front of the house, drawn by the screams of the two women, and yet none of them saw the window being opened and the body hurled out. Furthermore, the police discount the possibility of any of the windows being opened because they were nailed shut.

Poe would have been so proud!!

This is one of the classics truly brought to life. Edgar Allen Poe was one of my favorite authors and he was a true magician with the English language. This is a beautiful TV film that really did justice to one of his greatest works thanks to one of our finest American actors. George C. Scott was one of those rare breed of actors who could do everything and anything and did it!He was that good at what he did. He made any film that he was in excellent. He gave a masterful performance as the great detective Dupin in this film and Rebecca De Morney gave him excellent support as his daughter. This film really brought Paris to life and is beautiful to look at. There was an older version of this film starring Bela Lugosi that really took liberties with Poe's story and made it into a cheap horror film, they didn't do it here and that is what makes it worth watching. This was an early example of "psychological profiling" Dupin tried to match any individual into his profile of the murder and had to come up with the fact that it wasn't a human at all. It is far-fetched! but Scott makes it worth your while. Everything about this film from the musical score to the smallest supporting performances is A plus.
