In the Popular Culture section, removed additional info about Monsieur Verdoux, all of which is already in the Monsieur Verdoux article anyway.
Line 52:
Landru is listed as one of the wax effigies at Roger's Museum in [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s 1932 short story collaboration "[[The Horror in the Museum]]".
 
Landru was the inspiration for [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s film ''[[Monsieur Verdoux]]'' (1947). The original story was written by [[Orson Welles]], who wanted to direct the film with Chaplin in the title role. However, since Chaplin did not like to be directed by anyone but himself, Chaplin bought the story from Welles. Chaplin then wrote, directed, and starred in ''Monsieur Verdoux'' himself.
 
The 1960 film ''[[Bluebeard's Ten Honeymoons]]'' starred [[George Sanders]] as Landru.
