Samuel Fuller's dynamic, operatic western was a domestic box office bomb because of its incongruous narrative, but it scored with cineastes overseas due to its flamboyant performances and bold visual style. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Jessica Drummond, a despotic landowner and the self-styled authority of an Arizona county. One sweltering hot day, a posse of gunfighters (Barry Sullivan, Gene Barry, and Robert Dix) rides into town looking to restore domestic order, but the members quickly find themselves tangling with Drummond's brother (John Ericson) and the landowner's own sexual advances. With its stunning images, ripe melodrama, and bold sexual innuendo, Forty Guns is one of the splashiest entries in Fuller's esteemed filmography. Sam Fuller---USA---1957---80 mins.

"What better pick for 2011 than a whirlwind psychodrama about rival newspapers? Fuller's personally-funded labour-of-love is a film that encapsulates the nervous exhilaration of seeing your first big scoop rolling off the printing press. Offering a turbulent creation myth for American tabloid journalism, remove the linotypes, stogies and stovepipe hats and what remains is a howling plea for truth, integrity and creative endeavour. Journos, bloggers, critics, commentators and newshounds should all see this brilliant movie" (David Jenkins, Time Out London).

One of Sam Fuller's last films as a director, Street of No Return stars Keith Carradine as a former pop star who lost everything when he fell in love with a gangster's woman. Now, living as a drifter in a haze of amnesia and misery, he unexpectedly gets a chance to find himself...and a shot at revenge. Bill Duke co-stars in this flawed yet most intriguing feature, shot in Lisbon but set in the U.S.A. Based on a novel by David Goodis (Shoot the Piano Player). "The singular vision of Fuller in his late 70s, tied as always to his passionate and radical view of the U.S., is filtered here through heaps of Eurotrash, and the results are distinctly unsettling. Fuller fans can't afford to pass this up" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader). Sam Fuller---Portugal/France---1989---89 mins.

One of Sam Fuller's last features is this intense and bizarre B-movie about a racist dog. Actress Julie Sawyer (Kristy McNichol) takes in a white German Shepard not knowing that it has been trained to attack black people. Paul Winfield plays a trainer who tries to deprogram the lethal pup. Filmed amidst a storm of controversy, White Dog was ultimately shelved. "A fascinating oddity and as clear an indictment of racism as one might ever see" (Janet Maslin, New York Times). Based on a true story by Romain Gary, whose wife, actress Jean Seberg, once took in a racist stray by accident. Music by Sam Fuller---USA---1982---89 mins.
