The near-forgotten emigre filmmaker Edgar G. Ulmer enjoyed a thirty-five year career as a director. Born in Olmutz (in what is today the Czech Republic) in 1904, and raised in Vienna, he first traveled to America in 1924 with Max Reinhardt’s theater company to help stage The Miracle in New York. His sprawling, eclectic body of work includes: such daring and original horror films as The Black Cat (1934) and Bluebeard (1944); a startling variety of ethnic films, ranging from an all-black musical drama, Moon Over Harlem (1939), to a pair of Ukrainian operettas and four powerful Yiddish features, most notably The Light Ahead (1939); numerous acclaimed B-pictures of diverse genres, including science fiction, melodrama, and the western; and, finally, such film noir classics as Detour (1945), his best-known film. Long overshadowed by the more celebrated careers of his fellow Austrian- and German-born peers, Ulmer’s work is now finally, more than four decades after his death, receiving a new wave of critical appreciation.

Trained peer coaches are ready to work with you one-on-one to help you regain control over eating and rebuild a healthy relationship with food. The program is free and confidential.
To see if WesGUIDE may be right for you, take our completely anonymous and confidential 2-minute online self-screener.

** Note: If you took the survey on Wed 2/12 (the day we posted on Wesleying) and were screened out after the height and weight question, we encourage you to retake the survey. Due to a survey error (that has been corrected), many students were incorrectly screened out at that question. We apologize for the inconvenience!
