'''''Murders in the Rue Morgue''''' (1932) is a Universal Pictures pre-Code horror film loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." Bela Lugosi, one year after his legendary performance as ''Dracula'', portrays a lunatic scientist who abducts women (one a prostitute played by Arlene Francis) and injects them with fresh blood from his vicious caged ape. The atmospheric cinematography by Karl Freund has been singled out by critics as superb, along with Robert Florey's direction. Thanks to Freund and Florey, the film has the look and feel of German expressionist films of the 1920s. However, some strongly violent scenes apparently prompted Universal executives to cut the film back to 61 minutes from what was originally an 80-minute running time. (Source: IMDB)  

This film was provided as a sort of compensatory package for Lugosi and Florey after both were dropped from ''Frankenstein'' (1931). Lugosi had been originally cast as Dr. Frankenstein, and the film was to be directed by Florey. Lugosi was subsequently demoted to play the monster, which he claimed to have turned down. Florey was soon fired as director in favor of James Whale.

Box office results were disappointing, and Lugosi's original Universal contract for Dracula was not extended. But today's critics and Universal Horror-fans consider the film to be a classic.

==Plot summary==
The film is set in the 19th Century in mad scientist, Dr. Mirakle (virgin women and injects them with ape blood, in order to create a mate for his talking sideshow ape, Erik (voiced by Charles Gemora, having voiced and played uncreditedly other gorillas many other times in films).

Young Pierre Dupin, a young naive medical student and detective (Leon Ames -credited as Leon Waycoff- in the role of Poe's standard detective icon, C. Auguste Dupin), his fiancee Camille L'Espanaye (Sidney Fox, in the role of an original character in the short story), and their friends Paul (Bert Roach) and his girl Mignette (silent film actress Edna Marion, in her last film role) visit carnival sideshows, including Mirakle's sideshow where he exhibits Erik. Both master and servant are enchanted by Camille, whom Mirakle plans to become Erik's mate. He invites her to come and take a closer look on Erik, who grabs Camille's bonnet. Dupin tries to get it back, when Erik tries to strangle him. Mirakle backs him off and offers Camille to replace the bonnet. But Camille is reluctant and suspicious to give the doctor her address, so, when the leave, Mirakle orders his servant Janos (Noble Johnson) to follow her.

One of Mirakle's victims, a prostitute, is found dead in a river (a homage to another Dupin-Poe tale, The Mystery of Marie Roget), and is fished out and taken to the police station. Dupin wants to examine the girl's blood, but the morrgue keeper (D'Arcy Corrigan) won't allow. A bribe convinces him to draw some of the blood himself and deliver it to Dupin the next day. Dupin discovers in the blood a foreign substance, also found in the blood of other victims.

'''«Убийство на улице Морг»''' () — американский фильм ужасов режиссёра Джона Флори. Фильм является адаптацией одноименного рассказа Эдгара По и поставлен в традициях немецкого киноэкспрессионизма.

== Сюжет ==
XIX век, Париж. Сумасшедший доктор Миракл, живущий на улице Морг, похищает молодых женщин и проводит над ними бесчеловечные эксперименты. Его целью является скрещивание человека с гориллой. После введения крови примата в кровеносную систему женщин последние погибают и Миракл выбрасывает их трупы в Сену.

На ярмарке доктор показывает говорящего орангутана Эрика. Среди зрителей — молодая девушка Камилла Леспане и ее жених, студент-медик Пьер Дюпен, подозревающий Миракла в убийствах. Камилла становиться предметом вожделения Эрика. Миракл решает этим воспользоваться и приказывает орангутану похитить девушку. Ночью обезьяна пробирается в спальню Камиллы и крадет ее. Дюпен, догадавшись, что Камиллу похитил Миракл, обращается к префекту полиции и просит отправить жандармов на ее поиски. В лаборатории Миракла Эрик, увидев, что Камилле угрожает опасность со стороны его хозяина, освобождается и убивает доктора. Затем, схватив Камиллу, бежит с ней по крышам Парижа. За зверем и его добычей устремляется погоня во главе с префектом и Дюпеном. Студент взбирается за Эриком на крышу и пристреливает обезьяну.
