Blu-ray Review Edgar G. Ulmer Sci-Fi Collection – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Starting out his career as a set designer for the legendary impresario Max Reinhardt, Edgar G. Ulmer first came to Hollywood in 1926 to work on F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927). He returned to Hollywood – after co-directing People on Sunday (1930) with Robert Siodmak – to make the seminal The Black Cat (1934) as a director, but quickly found himself blacklisted by the major studios after an affair with his future wife Shirley, who was married to a nephew of Universal studio chief Carl Laemmle. However, Ulmer just as quickly landed on his feet at the Poverty Row studios and began to make a name for himself for turning out solid B movies on shoestring budgets. Kino has gathered 3 of his science fiction movies from the 1950’s and 1960’s – The Man from Planet X, Beyond the Time Barrier and The Amazing Transparent Man – for this Blu-ray release, the latter two making their Blu-ray debuts here.

it was great to get the Beyond the Time Barrier on BD, and the fun and informative commentaries with the films. It helps with having 3 of his movies condensed, with minumal quality issues. In a large collection, real estate/space is everything!! For me it was a great buy!!
