Edgar Marsh or Edgar Poe?
I was very confused when this guy's name turned out to be Edgar Marsh. Is not the first line of the film, spoken by the servant woman: "Mr. Poe! Mr. Poe! Are you alright Mr. Poe?"
It made sense to me, as his friend then called him Edgar, and Edgar did have the Poe haircut. I thought he was playing the author. I was even thinking hmm, so Poe worked as a librarian.
Then somewhere in the film I learn his name is Edgar Marsh. Well what the hell is the woman sayaing in the first line of the film? Sure sounds like "Mr. Poe" to me.
Help, I've fallen and I can't get up.
