Biography

At age 17, Samuel Fuller became the youngest reporter ever to be assigned to the events section of the New York Journal. After serving in the European theater during World War II, he directed several minor action films, for which he typically wrote the scripts and also served as producer (e.g., The Baron of Arizona (1950)). His masterpiece was Pickup on South Street (1953), made for 20th Century Fox. By the end of the 1950s, he had regained his independence from the studio and went on to direct several other notable films, including the controversial White Dog (1982).
