Eugène Brieux’s play Les Avaries endeavored to bring syphilis out of the shadows and erase the stigma surrounding it. Later adapted by Upton SincIair into the novel Damaged Goods, the story became the backbone of countless sex hygiene fiIms, in which a young coupIe’s happiness is overshadowed by the specter of disease. Made just before his infIuentiaI horror fiIm The Black Cat, Edgar G. Ulmer’s unauthorized rendition of the story (Damaged Lives) is grimIy poetic, and deserves a place among the director’s finest work. Often overlooked in the expIoitation cycle, Damaged Goods demonstrates how unexpectedIy compeIIing these disreputable little fiIms could be.
