Biography

Au cinéma, Ernest Miller débute comme chef opérateur sur Made in Heaven de Victor Schertzinger (avec Helene Chadwick), sorti en 1921. Il contribue en tout à environ trois-cent-cinquante films américains (dont des serials), principalement de série B et souvent dans le domaine du western. Ses deux derniers films, sortis en 1954, appartiennent d'ailleurs à ce genre.

Parmi ses films notables, mentionnons les serials La Chevauchée de la gloire de Colbert Clark et Armand Schaefer (libre adaptation du roman Les Trois Mousquetaires d'Alexandre Dumas, 1933, avec Jack Mulhall et John Wayne) et Le Cavalier miracle de B. Reeves Eason et Armand Schaefer (1935, avec Tom Mix et Charles Middleton), Man of Conquest de George Nichols Jr. (1939, avec Richard Dix et Gail Patrick), ou encore deux des premiers films de Samuel Fuller, J'ai tué Jesse James (1949, avec Preston Foster et Barbara Britton) et J'ai vécu l'enfer de Corée (1951, avec Gene Evans et Robert Hutton).

Army Girl de George Nichols Jr. (1938, avec Madge Evans et Preston Foster) lui vaut en 1939 une nomination à l'Oscar de la meilleure photographie.

Pour la télévision, Ernest Miller contribue à trois téléfilms diffusés en 1956, ainsi qu'à cinq séries de 1951 à 1956, dont Gunsmoke (onze épisodes, 1955-1956).

Fresh out of prison, Isaiah Bone moves to Los Angeles, where underground fights are being held. One night, after watching a match involving local champion Hammerman, Bone makes a deal with promoter Pinball to get him into the fight scene for 20% of his earnings; 40% if Pinball puts his own money on the line. On that same night, Bone encounters mob boss James and his girlfriend Angela Soto. Bone enters his first underground fight and quickly defeats his opponent with only two kicks. Pinball explains to Bone that Angela was previously married, but James set up her husband Danny on a triple-homicide, sending him to jail. When James learned that she was pregnant, he had her undergo an abortion. Since then, Angela has fallen into drug addiction.

The story begins near the end of World War II in Europe. A soldier, suffering from amnesia, is on a hospital ship being helped by Major Williams, a medical doctor. The soldier was the only one of four infantrymen to survive when Nazi dive-bombers destroyed the farm house they were fighting the Germans from. The soldier and the U.S. Army do not know who he is. This is because when the four men's dog tags were found afterwards, they had been blown off their bodies, and the Army does not know which of the four the surviving soldier is.
