Produktbeschreibung
Journalist, screenwriter, novelist, soldier, filmmaker – Samuel Fuller was one of American cinema’s most prolific and multi-faceted talents. However, the films based on Fuller’s early work as a screenwriter remain under appreciated. It Happened in Hollywood: Regarded by Fuller as his ‘first real Hollywood credit’, the film has a now-familiar premise: the silent film star who finds they are unable to make the transition to talkies. Blending comedy, romance, action, and a playful self-reflexive streak, the film established Fuller in Hollywood. Adventure in Sahara: Fuller takes full story credit on this rip-roaring adventure yarn inspired – he claimed – by Victor Hugo, Beau Geste, and Mutiny on the Bounty. Power of the Press: Drawing on Fuller’s own experiences as young newspaperman and journalist, this crime drama is a passionate cry for freedom of speech and expression. The film also features Fuller’s first fully formed and vital female heroine in the shape of the impassioned Edwina (Gloria Dickson).
