Eclipse Series 5 - The First Films of Samuel Fuller (The Baron of Arizona / I Shot Jesse James / The Steel Helmet) (Criterion Collection)

His films have been called raw outrageous sensational and daring. In four decades of directing Samuel Fuller created a legendarily idiosyncratic oeuvre examining U.S. history and mythmaking in westerns film noirs and war epics. And characteristically it all began with a bang: after printing the legend with the elegant B-pictures I Shot Jesse James and The Baron of Arizona he got himself into hot water with the FBI on The Steel Helmet the first American movie to portray the Korean War. These three independent films showed off Fuller\'s genre diversity gutter wit and subversive force and pointed the way to a controversial career in studio moviemaking.Includes:I Shot Jesse JamesFuller\'s directorial debut is a psychological western excavating with pathos and humor the tale of Robert Ford the member of Jesse James\'s gang who shot the famed outlaw in the back.The Baron of ArizonaA devilishly witty Vincent Price plays a nineteenth-century con man who sets out to commit the most epic swindle in U.S. history: to claim himself as the rightful inheritor of Arizona.The Steel HelmetWith its low budget and high ambitions Fuller\'s snarling Korean War film an examination of race relations as well as a visceral plunge into battle remains one of the director\'s most discussed and admired works.System Requirements:Running Time: 262 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 715515025522 Manufacturer No: ECL022DVD (Amazon)
