Second Unit Director
Unusually elaborate for a PRC film, Minstrel Man is a lively musical drama built around the talents of veteran vaudevillian Benny Fields. The star is cast as Dixie Boy Johnson, who rises from the ranks of minstrel shows to become a top Broadway attraction. On the opening night of his greatest stage triumph, Dixie Boy's wife dies in childbirth. Profoundly shaken, he walks out of the show, leaving the baby to be raised by his showbiz pals Mae and Lasses White (Gladys George, Roscoe Karns). The kid grows up to be an attractive young woman named Caroline (Judy Clark), who follows in her dad's footsteps by billing herself as-that's right-Dixie Girl Johnson. This leads to a tearful reunion between Caroline and the father she'd long assumed to be dead. If Minstrel Man seems at times to be a dress rehearsal for Columbia's The Jolson Story (1946), it shouldn't surprising: the PRC film was directed by Joseph H. Lewis, who went on to helm Jolson Story's musical highlights.

The Light Ahead is possibly the greatest of Edgar G. Ulmer’s shtetl films. Here, the director counterpoints his pastoral Green Fields to criticize the poverty and superstition that oppress a pair of star-crossed lovers. Made on the eve of World War II, The Light Ahead is at once romantic, expressionist, and painfully conscious of the danger about to engulf European Jews. Impoverished and disabled lovers Fishke and Hodel dream of life in the big city of Odessa, free from the poverty and stifling old-world prejudices of the shtetl. The benevolent and enlightened bookseller Mendele helps them, turning small-town superstitions to their advantage. Based on Mendele Mokher Seforim's story of love frustrated by small-town ignorance, this luminous allegory of escape marries Edgar Ulmer's masterful direction with superb acting by members of New York's Artef and Yiddish Art Theaters.

Director Edgar G. Ulmer executed the low-budget COSSACKS IN EXILE (1939), for Ukrainian-Canadian producer Vasile Avramenko, with a stylish flair; this obscure little operetta contains many pleasant moments. In the Ukraine, 1775, the Zaporogian Cossacks learn that Moscow is sending soldiers to destroy their fort. The Ukrainian villagers appeal to Czarina Catherine, but she insists that they join the Russian army or risk annihilation. Instead, the Cossacks burn their fort and flee on the Danube River to Turkey, where they live in peace, but still yearn for their homeland.

Moishe Oysher, the renowned cantor and star of Yiddish radio, stars in Edgar G. Ulmer’s musical version of David Pinski’s play Yankl der Shmid.

Recently rediscovered footage makes this the most complete extant version of Ulmer’s lively folk operetta, replete with an example of Yiddish swing.

Primer film sonoro de Murnau (y último de ficción). Durante su producción y rodaje (en tierras americanas, donde había realizado ya la obra maestra "Sunrise"), surgieron importantes divergencias del director alemán con el dueño de la Fox, William Fox. La más importante fue la imposición de ser un film hablado (Murnau comenzó la película siendo muda), dado el fulgurante éxito del cine sonoro, así como la incapacidad del estudio por conseguir a la estrella Janet Gaynor (protagonista de "Amanecer"). Murnau, desencantado, decidió una vez acabada la película asociarse con el documentalista Robert J. Flaherty, para rodar "Tabu" sin ningún tipo de imposición de los estudios. "El pan nuestro de cada día" está basada en la obra "The Mad Turtle", de Elliott Lester, y narra la historia de un joven de Minnesota que va a Chicago y se enamora.

The circus provides the backdrop for this melodrama that chronicles the lives of four children raised within the big top. Film historian and collector William K. Everson stated that the only surviving print was lost by actress Mary Duncan who had borrowed it from Fox Studios. In the December 1974 issue of "Films in Review," he explained that Mary Duncan, one of the film's stars, wanted it to show to a group of friends in Florida. The star was aware that it was a dangerous nitrate print and assumed that Fox had others. She threw the only copy in the ocean, a mistake characterized by Everson as "a monumental blunder to rank with Balaclava, Sarajevo, and the Fall of Babylon as one of history's blackest moments."

Superproducción de la época que adaptaba la historia de Sodoma y Gomorra, dividida en dos partes. 1ª parte (El pecado): Mary Conway, incitada por su ambiciosa madre Agathe, decide casarse con el banquero Jackson Harber -un hombre bastante maduro y con pocos escrúpulos-, pese a que está enamorada del escultor Harry Lighton, quien se desvive por ella. Lighton, despechado, intenta suicidarse y Mary comienza a dar rienda suelta a un incontrolable afán seductor que involucra al hijo del banquero e incluso al sacerdote-tutor que le acompaña. 2ª parte (El castigo): Mary sueña que es Lía, la esposa de Lot y revive, como una mujer pecaminosa, el episodio bíblico de Sodoma y Gomorra. Después se verá a sí misma como la perversa reina de Siria. Esto será muy significativo para su vida.

Clásico del cine mudo alemán que cuenta la leyenda de una estatua: el Golem. En el siglo XVI, en el gueto de Praga, vivía el Rabino Löw, mago y maestro en el arte de la nigromancia. Para evitar la expulsión de los judíos, ordenada por el Emperador Rodolfo II, modeló la figura de arcilla del Golem e invocó al espíritu de Astaharot para que le otorgará la vida. Sin embargo, cuando los judíos consiguen quedarse en la ciudad, y el Golem salva la vida del Emperador, el rabino trata de invalidar su conjuro y quitarle la vida porque ya ha realizado su cometido. Pero cuando un sirviente, cegado de amor, se la devuelve, la figura de arcilla escapa de la influencia humana y se convierte en una amenaza. Esta fascinante obra maestra del expresionismo, claro precedente del mito de Frankenstein es, seguramente, la primera gran película sobre monstruos de la historia del cine .
