Ulmer is perhaps best known today for \u003ci\u003eDetour, \u003c\/i\u003e considered by many to be the epitome of a certain noir style that transcends its B-list origins. But in his lifetime he never achieved the celebrity of his fellow Austrian and German  migr  directors--Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger, Fred Zinnemann, and Robert Siodmak. Despite early work with Max Reinhardt and F. W. Murnau, his auspicious debut with Siodmak on their celebrated Weimar classic \u003ci\u003ePeople on Sunday, \u003c\/i\u003e and the success of films like \u003ci\u003eDetour\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRuthless, \u003c\/i\u003eUlmer spent most of his career as an itinerant filmmaker earning modest paychecks for films that have either been overlooked or forgotten. In this fascinating and well-researched account of a career spent on the margins of Hollywood, Noah Isenberg provides the little-known details of Ulmer's personal life and a thorough analysis of his wide-ranging, eclectic films--features aimed at minority audiences, horror and sci-fi flicks, genre pictures made in the U.S. and abroad. Isenberg shows that Ulmer's unconventional path was in many ways more typical than that of his more famous colleagues. As he follows the twists and turns of Ulmer's fortunes, Isenberg also conveys a new understanding of low-budget filmmaking in the studio era and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noah Isenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520235770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520235779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/29\/2014 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014","brand":"Noah Isenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919943041279,"sku":"9780520235779","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_af5191b3-734a-4619-a0ae-f565ed868314.jpg?v=1680812765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edgar-g-ulmer-48-noah-isenberg-9780520235779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
