Edgar G. Ulmer: Essays on the King of the B's - Paperback
Description
by Bernd Herzogenrath (Editor)
This collection of 20 essays pays homage to a filmmaker who had a reputation for delivering the most movie for the least money. Edgar G. Ulmer, nicknamed "The King of the Bs" and "The King of Poverty Row," gave us classics like The Black Cat, starring Bela Lugosi. His stealing away the wife of a producer led to exile from Hollywood and, working outside the studio system and with low budgets, he turned out film noir, science fiction, and ethnic films that achieved cult status and critical acceptance.
