This collection of 20 essays pays homage to a filmmaker who had a
reputation for delivering the most movie for the least amount of
money. Edgar G. Ulmer delivered classics like ""The Black Cat"",
starring Bela Lugosi, and was nicknamed 'The King of the Bs' and
'The King of Poverty Row'. Ulmer's stealing away the wife of a
producer led to his 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
limited critical acceptance. Among the contributors are Ulmer
historians Bill Krohn, Greg Mank, and Sharon Pucker Rivo.
Illustrations and a filmography are included in this title.
