- 1934, Edgar G. Ulmer, USA, 70 min. With Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi Austrian-born Edgar G. Ulmer assisted F.W. Murnau on SUNRISE, before directing this elegant fever dream. Honeymooners are trapped in the mansion of a sinister war-profiteer (Karloff) who’s hounded by an avenging doctor (Lugosi). The film’s astonishing sets range from art deco extravagance to subterranean chambers—everything symbolically perched on a battlefield. 35mm. (Description courtesy of UCLA Film & Television Archive)
