Sam Fuller lived to the ripe old age of 86. He spent 40 years of his
life making movies, movies as brashly alive as any ever produced. He was
a genuine independent - as a director, a thinker, a person. Fuller led
an exemplary life and career, and his films - including The Steel
Helmet, Pickup on South Street, Forty Guns, Shock Corridor and White
Dog, are as exciting and vital today as they were the day they came out.
We'll be showing an early Fuller film and one of his very best, PARK ROW, which is a salute to the grand old institution of journalism, and
which is also where he began. The occasion is the publication of a book
that anyone even remotely interested in movies should pick up and read.
The Third Face: My Tale of Writing, Fighting and Filmmaking is Fuller's
posthumous memoir, and it's as irreverent and funny and surprising as
one of his movies. Fuller's wife Christa Lang and Jerome Henry Rudes,
who co-edited the book, will be on hand. And we'll also have some surprises.
Join us to celebrate a true master of the medium, the cinema's greatest
maverick, Sam Fuller.
