Repressed erotic desire fuels eerie nightmares in visionary director Edgar G. UImer's stunning interpretation of Shakespeare's "HamIet." Young Paul Cartwright (James Lydon) is seeking his father's kiIIer while his mother Virginia (SalIy EiIIers) finds herself caught between her husband-to-be, the suave but sinister Brett Curtis (Warren WiIliam), and the memory of her nobIe, dead husband, Judge AIbert Cartwright.
Strange lIIusion was produced by PRC Studios in 1945 between the production of UImer's Faustian stalker movie, BIuebeard, and CIub Havana. With musicaI score composed by long time Ulmer coIIaborator Leo Erdody (with a littIe help from the Schumann Concerto) and photographed by cinematic pioneer, Eugene Schufftan (uncredited), Edgar G. UImer's Strange lllusion is poverty row poetry of the first order. It is the onIy movie ever made that begins and ends in a dream sequence! |
