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. I Shot Jesse James Fuller'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 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 himself as the rightful inheritor of Arizona. The Steel Helmet With its low budget and high ambitions, Fuller's snarling Korean War film, an examination of race relations as well as a visceral plunge into battle, remains one of the director's most discussed and admired works. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Do I have to? The Steel Helmet is probably one of the greatest war films ever put on screen. Fuller transposed many of his own experiences into this Korean War tale, giving the viewer a very raw, gritty look at combat- filmed during a time when you couldn't really show graphic violence on the screen. At the time he shot this movie, WWII had only been over for 5-6 years, so Fuller's feelings are still intense and fresh. I actually like this film better than "Fixed Bayonets" (which isn't bad) and "The Big Red One", ... Read More Rating: - SAMUEL FULLER, OPUS 1, 2 AND 3 I SHOT JESSE JAMES ****1/2 1949. Written and directed by Samuel Fuller. Robert Ford shoots Jesse James in the back in order to get the reward and start a new life but his girl-friend doesn't want him anymore after Jesse's murder so Robert heads to Colorado to make a fortune. Superb psychological western with a first-class performance of John Ireland as Robert Ford. Note the scene of the theatre when Robert Ford is trying, as an actor playing his own character, to recreate Jesse James's murder before ... Read More Rating: - One Great, One Good and One Bad This Eclipse collection isn't much to get excited about. Samuel Fuller strikes me as a poor man's Sam Peckinpah or Sergio Leone. He strove for distinctiveness by trying to be tough and gritty but lacked the creativity and talent of of Peckinpah or Leone. a former crime reporter and war veteran, he skillfully used his experiences in some of his better and more personal projects. The Steel Helmet is an excellent no budget Korean War flick made while the war was still being ... Read More Rating: - Great Deal! The real deal on this is "The Steel Helmet"! A movie made at the start of the Korean war that was 50 years ahead of it's time. Despite some dated terms and perceptions, it provides a tense look at a tense time. A must have to any serious war movie or any movie collector. As for the other two, well Vincent Price gives a great perfomance in "The Baron of Arizona" even if the movie plays lose and fast with the history behind it. I say get the popcorn, turn out the lights and have a great family night ... Read More Rating: - wow I have been looking for The Steel Helmut. Fuller was a master at making war movies as shown by The Big Red One. see more Browse for similar items by category: Action & Adventure - Genres - DVD - Video - General Action & Adventure - Genres - DVD - Video - Classics Love & Romance - Drama - Genres - DVD - Video - General AAS Westerns - Genres - DVD - Video - General The Movies & TV Black Friday Sale
