Edgar Georg Ulmer (; September 17, 1904 – September 30, 1972) was an Austrian film director who worked mainly in Hollywood B movies and other low-budget productions, eventually earning the epithet 'The King of PRC',[1] due to his extremely prolific output for the Poverty Row studios.
His stylish and eccentric works came to be appreciated by auteur theory-espousing film critics in the years following his retirement. Ulmer's most famous productions include the horror filmThe Black Cat (1934) and the film noirDetour[2] (1945).
