Mysteries of Edgar Allan Poe - 'Poe! Red Death on the Long Gray Line' the film

Poe! Red Death on the Long Gray Line, the film

Cadet Edgar A. Poe, surrounded by his many literary creations.

POE! is a murder mystery

set at West Point in 1830,

the year of Poe's brief stint

as a Cadet. Though the

screenplay for POE! is

highly fictionalized, much

of the language, locations,

situations and characters

are strictly biographical

and accurate to Poe's life.

The story takes a twist

when a tubercular barmaid

named Lenore, who works

at Benny Haven's Tavern,

is murdered.

Poe is suspected of having

committed the murder

… and must solve it before

he himself is arrested

for the crime.
