Edgar G. Ulmer – Doyle's Space

The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)

Faust is made invisible by Ulof’s machine, and Krenner orders him to steal a critical component from a government laboratory that will allow them to mass-produce the invisibility technology.

“The Amazing Transparent Man” is a 1960 American science fiction film that delves into the realm of atomic experimentation and criminal ambition. Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, a filmmaker known for his work in low-budget films, the movie has garnered attention over the years as a cult classic, despite its modest production values and brief runtime of only 57 minutes. The film centers around the character of Paul Krenner, a former military major turned criminal mastermind, who is determined to create an army of invisible soldiers to carry out his nefarious plans.

The Black Cat (1934)

I watched the 1934 the Universal Pictures psychological horror movie “The Black Cat” on Svengoolie. It stars two of the greatest in horror, Béla Lugosi as Dr. Vitus Werdegast and Boris Karloff as Hjalmar Poelzig. This was the first of this pairing with seven more movies to come. Black Cat was the number one movie for Universal in 1934. They hyped the move as an Edgar Allan Poe story but actually had little, more like nothing, to do with the famous writer. The name on the posters and other promotion certainly helped the movies appeal.
