Description of  A Third Face: My Tale of Writing, Fighting and Filmmaking

Samuel Fuller was one of the most prolific and independent writer-director-producers in Hollywood. His 29 tough, gritty films made from 1949 to 1989 set out to capture the truth of war, racism, and human frailties. In addition to his work in film - including Park Row, The Big Red One, The Steel Helmet, Merrill's Marauders, Shock Corridor, and White Dog (a film so controversial that Paramount's then studio heads Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner refused to release it), Fuller (1911-97) wrote eleven novels.
