Edgar G. Ulmer: Detour on Poverty Row illuminates the work of this
under-appreciated film auteur through 21 new essays penned by a
range of scholars from around the globe. Ulmer, an immigrant to
Hollywood who fell from grace in Tinseltown after only one studio
film, became one of the reigning directors of Poverty Row B-movies.
Structured in four sections, Part I examines various contexts
important to Ulmer's career, such as his work at the Producers
Releasing Corporation (PRC), and his work in exploitation films and
ethnic cinema. Part II analyzes Ulmer's film noirs, featuring an
emphasis on Detour (1945) and Murder Is My Beat (1955). Part III
covers a variety of Ulmer's individual films, ranging from
Bluebeard (1944) and Carnegie Hall (1947) to The Man from Planet X
(1951) and Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1957). Part IV concludes the
volume with a case study of The Black Cat (1934), offering three
different analyses of Ulmer's landmark horror film.
