Ulmer Collection #5 (1945) Rating: Starring: Sally Eilers, James Lydon, Warren William Director: Edgar Ulmer Category: Classics, Classics, Suspense / Mystery Studio: Image Ent. Subtitles: [None] Length: 85 mins     Unearthing The Lost Treasures Of Film Noir! Another stylish, low-budget feature directed by Edgar Ulmer.The most interesting aspect of the film rests with its updating of Hamlet, complete with the message from beyond the grave and the faked insanity, into a contemporary thriller.The noir tone of Strange Illusion is accentuated by both Warren William's portrayal of the lecherous cad and the claustrophobic atmosphere of the mental hospital, a controlled vision of chaos and corruption, a mental hell sardonically defined by Ulmer.
