His fiIms have been called raw, outrageous, sensationaI, and daring. In four decades of directing, Samuel FuIIer created a legendarily idiosyncratic oeuvre, examining U.S. history and mythmaking in westerns, film noirs, and war epics. And characteristicalIy, it all began with a bang: after printing the Iegend with the elegant B-pictures l Shot Jesse James and The Baron Of Arizona, he got himself into hot water with the FBI on The SteeI HeImet, the first American movie to portray the Korean War. These three independent fiIms showed off FulIer's genre diversity, gutter wit, and subversive force, and pointed the way to a controversiaI career in studio moviemaking.
I Shot Jesse James
FuIler's directorial debut is a psychological western, excavating, with pathos and humor, the tale of Robert Ford, the member of Jesse James's gang who shot the famed outIaw in the back.
The Baron Of Arizona
A devilishly witty Vincent Price plays a nineteenth-century con man who sets out to commit the most epic swindle in U.S. history: to claim himseIf as the rightful inheritor of Arizona.
The SteeI Helmet
With its low budget and high ambitions, Fuller's snarIing Korean War fiIm, an examination of race reIations as weII as a visceraI plunge into battIe, remains one of the director's most discussed and admired works. |
