Movie Reviews of Edgar G. Ulmer - Archive
Movie Review: Ulmer's (hard to find) Daughter of Dr. Jekyll is Included. Do Not Pay More Than You Have Too.
Summary: 5 Stars
Andrew Sarris said "Anyone who loves cinema must be moved by Daughter of Dr. Jekyll" in his book The American Cinema: Directors And Directions 1929-1968.
I thought this hard to find film was out of print, if you do a search on Amazon by title you will find it used from $34 - new at $110. The only way I found this set was by doing a search for director Edgar G. Ulmer, and this cover art was somewhat vague but it does in fact have the film in it's entirety, which is as good of quality if not better then the dvd for $110 (I've watched both).
Bluebeard is also highly recommended. By the title I thought it was about a pirate but it's a Jack the Ripper type of tale starring John Carradine.
Edgar G. Ulmer is a great director whose films have a definite style of his own from his great horror films such as the two mentioned above (Bluebeard and Daughter of Dr. Jekyll)and The Black Cat The Bela Lugosi Collection (Murders in the Rue Morgue / The Black Cat / The Raven / The Invisible Ray / Black Friday) to his classic film noir Detour. Ulmer also did an atmospheric influential Sci Fi film The Man From Planet X. Ulmer's films have a beautiful look which is no surprise as he was the set designer for Lang's Metropolis (Restored Authorized Edition) and M - 2 Disc Special Edition - Criterion Collectionand art director for such films as Murneau's Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (Limited Edition) plus Demille's The King of Kings - Criterion Collection to name just some of his previous contributions to film before he regularly directed his own.
Although the marketing for this set is poor I highly recommend it and it's a terrific value.
