Synopsis
Cult director Sam Fuller is a legend of the American big screen, helming classic Hollywood war, western and crime-noir in the 50s until his offbeat pulp films of the 60s turned the cigar-chomping auteur into a studio maverick and darling of hip directors like Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch and Martin Scorsese. Never before presented in one DVD collection, these essential Sam Fuller’s films are drawn from two decades of his daring cinematic career.
Shock Corridor (1963)
Widely considered Fuller’s great masterpiece, Shock Corridor is a dark and sinisterjourney into American dementia set against the background of the Cold War and the Civil Rights movement.
“To watch Shock Corridor is to experience the complex, wacky, full-blown masterpiece of one of Hollywood’s great originals, Samuel Fuller.” TIM HUNTER – Director of “RIVER’S EDGE”
Naked Kiss (1964)
A prostitute beats her pimp senseless, skips town, resumes her livelihood in a buttoned-down suburb, rescues orphans and exposes her hometown’s leading philanthropist as a paedophile! Welcome to the unforgettable world of pulp auteur Samuel Fuller – a nightmarish vision of a world where perverse secrets simmer beneath a seemingly wholesome façade.
"The Naked Kiss! That's the ultimate." Martin Scorcese
Pick-up on South Street (1953)
New York pickpocket, Skip McCoy (Richard Widmark), has his eyes fixed on the big score – but when the cocky ex-con picks the pocketbook of Candy (Jean Peters), he finds a haul bigger than he can handle. Boasting an A-list Hollywood cast and director Samuel Fuller’s signature raw energy and hardboiled repartee, Pick-up on South Street is a hard, tough, bonafide film noir classic.
Forty Guns (1957)
Mix a little bit of Johnny Guitar, a dash of My Darling Clementine, lasso in a whole lot of Sam Fuller fireworks, and you’ve got Forty Guns, one of the wildest and most exciting Westerns of the 1950s. Stars Barbara Stanwyck (The Lady Eve) in one her greatest roles.
