A few problems with the Wikipedia Ulmer bio that I wanted to point out. 1. There are two different birth dates given for him. In doing research on Ulmer a while ago, I found that different sources give different info on this. Since Ulmer isn't totally reliable himself, I'm not sure if this can be resolved. 2. The Wikipedia bio states that Ulmer came to the US in the 30s. According to the Bogdanovich interview, he was actually in Hollywood in the 20s making two-reel westerns. And it's known that he was in Hollywood with Murnau during the making of Sunrise (1927). He did go back to Europe, but returned to the US by 1931. 3. The Wikipedia bio seems to say that The Black Cat was Ulmer's directing debut. According to the IMDB, Ulmer directed Mr. Broadway and Damaged Lives before this. I'd like to spend some time on Ulmer's Wikipedia bio myself, but I don't know when I'll get to it. Any other Ulmer fans out there?
