Samuel Fuller

Samuel Fuller's remarkable career in journalism began at the tender age of 17, when he became the youngest person to ever helm the events section of the esteemed New York Journal. Following his involvement in the European battlefields during World War II, Fuller transitioned to the world of filmmaking, where he made a name for himself as a prolific director, writer, and producer. His early work in this field included a series of minor action productions, many of which he penned himself, and also produced. One of his most notable early credits is the 1950 film "The Baron of Arizona". Fuller's magnum opus, however, is widely regarded to be the 1953 classic "Pickup on South Street", a critically acclaimed production for 20th Century Fox. As the decade drew to a close, Fuller regained his independence from the production company and went on to create a wide range of notable films, including the controversial 1982 release "White Dog".
