Edgar G. Ulmer (September 17, 1904 – September 30, 1972) was an Austrian-American film director. He is best remembered for the movies The Black Cat (1934) and Detour (1945). These stylish and eccentric works have achieved cult status, whereas Ulmer's other films remain relatively unknown.
The plot of Ulmer's science fiction film The Amazing Transparent Man involves the story of an insane ex U. S. Army major who uses an escaped criminal to steal materials to improve the invisibility machine the scientist he holds prisoner has made. It was one of two films, along with The Time Barrier, shot back to back by director Edgar G. Ulmer with a combined filming schedule for both films of only two weeks.
