Review: Sam Fuller tribute in Westwood features screening of an unaired TV pilot and biographical doc
A tribute to the rambunctious Sam Fuller, director of such pulp classics as “Pickup On South Street†(1953) and “Shock Corridor†(1963), is always welcome, but the one scheduled by the UCLA Film & Television Archive for 7:30 p.m Saturday at the Hammer Museum’s Billy Wilder Theater in Westwood is something special.
Showing will be “Dogface,†a never-aired 1959 pilot for a potential CBS series on World War II, as well as the documentary “A Fuller Life,†directed by Samantha Fuller, the late director’s daughter. Fuller and Marsha Gordon, the author of a new book on Fuller’s war films, will host a post-screening discussion of the director’s work.
