Edgar Allan Poe

The Tell-Tale Heart

Starring: Sam Jaffe, Alex Cord

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a true American classic story. Hauntingly filmed in stark black and white to accentuate the good vs. evil theme, this film features one of our most renown character actors, Sam Jaffe, whose many and varied accomplishments include his Academy Award nomination in "The Asphalt Jungle," and the title role in the classic "Gunga Din."

EDGAR ALLAN POE is given credit for establishing the form of the modern short story, his very name being synonymous with the fascinating spine-tingling world of the macabre. Here, the viewer cannot help but be captured into POE's carefully woven web of murder, investigation, and the dreadful reality of betrayal from within.
