During Hollywood's Golden Age, at the height of the studio system, a new breed of crime drama began to emerge. These dark tales with an equally stark look told the stories of men and women living in the shadows and the underbelly of society. Classic stories like 'The Maltese Falcon', 'Double Indemnity', 'The Killers', and 'Night and the City' changed filmmaking forever with characters who risked everything for 'the stuff that dreams are made of'.
Presented by Chris Messineo, Director of the New Jersey Film School.

Edgar Allan Poe, the father of the modern mystery, was inspired by the real-life murder of Mary Rogers, whose body was found floating in the Hudson near Hoboken. He had recently published The Murders in the Rue Morgue, introducing his sleuth C. Auguste Dupin. The tale of Mary Rogers provided much fodder for the tabloids of the day and her murderer was never identified. But the case was ready made to become Poe’s The Mystery of Marie Roget.
Join New Jersey mystery writer and former college English professor, Peggy Ehrhart, to learn about this chapter in the history of New Jersey. Peggy is the author of Sweet man is Gone: a Maxx Maxwell Mystery and Got No Friend Anyhow: A Maxx Maxwell Mystery
