Okay, you Fuller Fans (or the Fuller curious) in the NYC area -- Dave Kehr (very late of Chicago) is curating a Samuel Fuller retrospective at MoMA...starting tonight!

I have seen the documentary or HATS OFF (his first screen credit as a writer - but it's Poverty Row with John Payne, so how bad can it be?), but can recommend the rest.

With the highest of recommendations:

RUN OF THE ARROW (1957)
THE STEEL HELMET (1951)
HOUSE OF BAMBOO (1955)

But see them all.
