Sam Fuller season eh?
ReplyDeleteThat should be.. interesting.
I've never been able to decide what i thought of Sam Fuller. In several ways I feel I don't like his stiff.. he is sort of the film director version of Ernest Hemmingway .. far too much testosterone.. loud, full of macho swagger.. too much of what is often called 'A man's man'. His 'red baiting / cold war paranoia' films lack subtlety in their red peril messaging ..( we will come to 'Pick up on south street' when we come to it), and a little over fond of action war films for my taste .. but There are several of his films I have seen that I have enjoyed.. not least 'Pick up..'
Looking forward to "Pickup" and "Shock Corridor". Obviously, "The Big Red One" is a war film, so that one could be tough for me.
DeleteI have never seen "The Big Red One". I am a fan of Shock Corridor and Pickup on South Street. Will be interested to find out your take on them.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to "Pickup" and "Corridor"
