As an actor early in his career he was one of the 'Ghosts' in the 1922 silent film Three Live Ghosts alongside Norman Kerry and Cyril Chadwick. Also in the early 1920s he wrote several screenplays for star Mae Murray for films directed by her then husband Robert Z. Leonard. Goulding is best remembered for directing cultured dramas such as Love (1927), Grand Hotel (1932) with Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford, Dark Victory (1939) with Bette Davis, and The Razor's Edge (1946) with Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power. He also directed the classic film noir Nightmare Alley (1947) with Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell, and the action drama The Dawn Patrol. He was also a successful songwriter, composer, and producer. BiographyBefore moving to films, Goulding was an actor, playwright and director on the London stage. Interviewed about his Goulding biography Edmund Goulding's Dark Victory (2009), film historian Matthew Kennedy stated: He not only directed many types of films, but he took on multiple functions on each set. Though he didn’t usually take credit, he co-wrote many scripts, composed incidental music, produced, even consulted on makeup, costumes, and hair styling. His one blind spot in production seems to be the camera...When shooting a scene, Eddie was intent on capturing performers at their best and most truthful, but he left the mechanics of filming to his cameramen...he seemed adept at just about everything — comedy (Everybody Does It, We’re Not Married!), ensemble dramas (Grand Hotel), family relations (White Banners, Claudia), war (The Dawn Patrol, We Are Not Alone), psychiatry (The Flame Within), show business (Blondie of the Follies), male-female relationships (The Devil's Holiday, Riptide), and even existentialism (The Razor's Edge) and the dark arts of spiritism (Nightmare Alley).[1] He died during heart surgery at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, California. He was buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[2] FilmographyYear | Title | Production Co. | Cast | Notes | Silent films | 1916 | The Quest of Life | Paramount | Florence Walton, Julian L'Estrange | Based on one of his plays | 1917 | The Silent Partner | Paramount | Blanche Sweet, Thomas Meighan | Screenwriter | 1918 | The Ordeal of Rosetta | Select | Alice Brady, Crauford Kent | Screenwriter | 1919 | The Imp | Selznick | Elsie Janis, Joe King | Screenwriter | 1919 | The Perfect Lover | Selznick | Eugene O'Brien, Marguerite Courtot | Screenwriter | 1919 | The Glorious Lady | Selznick | Olive Thomas, Evelyn Brent | Screenwriter | 1919 | A Regular Girl | Selznick | Elsie Janis, Matt Moore | Screenwriter | 1919 | Sealed Hearts | Selznick | Eugene O'Brien, Robert Edeson | Screenwriter | 1920 | A Daughter of Two Worlds | First National | Norma Talmadge, Frank Sheridan | Screenwriter | 1920 | Madonnas and Men | Independent | Anders Randolf, Edmund Lowe, Gustav von Seyffertitz | Screenwriter | 1920 | The Dangerous Paradise | Selznick | Louise Huff, Harry Benham | Screenwriter | 1920 | The Sin That Was His | Selznick | William Faversham, Lucy Cotton | Screenwriter | 1921 | The Devil | Pathé Exchange | George Arliss, Lucy Cotton | Screenwriter | 1921 | Dangerous Toys | Independent | Marguerite Clayton, William Desmond | Screenwriter | 1921 | A Man of Stone | Selznick | Conway Tearle, Martha Mansfield | Screenwriter | 1921 | Tol'able David | First National | Richard Barthelmess, Gladys Hulette, Ernest Torrence | Screenwriter | 1922 | Peacock Alley | Metro | Mae Murray, Edmund Lowe | Screenwriter | 1922 | Three Live Ghosts | Paramount | Norman Kerry, Anna Q.
