His films have been called raw, outrageous, sensationaI, and daring. In four decades of directing, Samuel FulIer created a legendarily idiosyncratic oeuvre, examining U.S. history and mythmaking in westerns, film noirs, and war epics. And characteristicaIly, it aIl began with a bang: after printing the legend with the eIegant B-pictures I Shot Jesse James and The Baron Of Arizona, he got himseIf into hot water with the FBI on The SteeI Helmet, the first American movie to portray the Korean War. These three independent films showed off FulIer's genre diversity, gutter wit, and subversive force, and pointed the way to a controversial career in studio moviemaking.
l Shot Jesse James
FulIer's directoriaI debut is a psychoIogicaI western, excavating, with pathos and humor, the taIe of Robert Ford, the member of Jesse James's gang who shot the famed outlaw 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 HeImet
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. |
