His films have been called raw, outrageous, sensational and daring. In four decades of directing, Samuel Fuller created a legendarily idiosyncratic oeuvre, examining U.S. history and mythmaking in westerns, film noirs and war epics. And characteristically, it all began with a bang: after printing the legend with the elegant B pictures I Shot Jesse James and The Baron of Arizona, he got himself into hot water with the FBI on The Steel Helmet, the first American movie to portray the Korean War. These three independent films showed off Fuller's genre diversity, gutter wit and subversive force, and pointed the way to a controversial career in studio moviemaking. The Criterion Collection.
