Anyone who's seen the story (or who's seen the movie) will be more sure of the similarities between Sherlock Holmes and Dupin.

    homage to expressionism

    Perhaps the film itself lacks some artistic elements, but we should see it as a tribute to "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" completed by the French director Robert Florey, and this time Saluting is not all smooth sailing.

Murders in the Rue Morgue quotes

  • Dr. Mirakle: My life is consecrated to great experiment. I tell you I will prove your kinship with the ape. Eric's blood will be mixed with the blood of man!

  • Prefect of Police: [interviewing the first witness] So, your name is Victor Albert Adolph Jules Hugo Louis Dupont?

    Victor Albert Adolph Jules Hugo Louis Dupont, the Landlord: Yes, sir.

    Prefect of Police: Why did you not investigate when you heard the first scream?

    Victor Albert Adolph Jules Hugo Louis Dupont, the Landlord: I... I was afraid.

    Franz Odenheimer: [the next person approaches the Prefect, talking German] Habe die Ehre, Herr Prefekt.

    [It's my honor, Mr. Prefect.]

    Prefect of Police: What is your name and business?

    Franz Odenheimer: I am Franz Odenheimer. I own a restaurant.

    Prefect of Police: Odenheimer, in your own way, tell us what happened.

    Franz Odenheimer: You see, I was just going to bed. Then suddenly, I heard a scream. Right away, I ran across the street. And I was one of the first ones to enter this room. On the way upstairs, I heard a voice. And that voice was speaking Italian.

    Prefect of Police: [doubting his accuracy] Do you speak Italian?

    Franz Odenheimer: No.

    Prefect of Police: Were you ever in Italy?

    Franz Odenheimer: No.

    Prefect of Police: How do you know it was Italian?

    Franz Odenheimer: Because I am sure it was Italian.

    Prefect of Police: [unconvinced] Ah. Danke schön.

    [Thank you.]

    Prefect of Police: [calls on next person] Alberto Montani. What do you know of this affair?

    Alberto Montani: Well, I also heard the voice. But it was not Italian. I am Italian. I speak Italian.

    Alberto Montani: [says something in Italian, then continues in English] When I ran up the stairs with the others, I heard the voice. It's not Italian, no. Definitely, it was Danish.

    Prefect of Police: Do you speak Danish?

    Alberto Montani: No.

    Prefect of Police: Were you ever in Denmark?

    Alberto Montani: No.

    Prefect of Police: How do you know it was Danish?

    Alberto Montani: My intuition.

    The Dane: [to Montani] It was not Danish!

    The Dane: [to Prefect] I beg your pardon, Your Honor. I am a native of Denmark. Danish is my native tongue. I heard the voice, but it was not Danish. It was German.

    Franz Odenheimer: [upset, approaches the Prefect] Italian, not German.

    Alberto Montani: Danish.

    The Dane: German.

    Franz Odenheimer: [in German] Ich lege meine Hand ans Lügners Feuer das es keiner Deutscher war!

    [I put my hand on the Liar's Fire that it wasn't a German!]

    The Dane: [while Montani argues in Italian] I say it was German.

    Prefect of Police: [while all 3 argue loudly in their native languages] Silence!

    Franz Odenheimer: Italian.

    Alberto Montani: Danish.

    The Dane: German.

    Prefect of Police: Silence.
