Original Fuller, Samuel Movie Posters

Samuel Fuller movie posters document one of American cinema's most unruly and undervalued careers — authentic original prints from the filmmaker who made crime, war, journalism, and racism the raw material for a series of genre films that were simultaneously B-movie entertainments and passionate moral arguments. Fuller worked in crime noir, the Korean War film, and the social-problem picture with a speed and intensity that kept his studio employers off-balance and his admirers devoted. Shop original Samuel Fuller campaign materials for the full arc of his American career. The Steel Helmet (1951) and Fixed Bayonets! (1951) — his two Korean War films made for almost nothing before the war had ended — produced campaign materials of the robust illustrated style of early 1950s independent war film advertising. Pick Up on South Street (1953), with Richard Widmark as a pickpocket who accidentally steals communist microfilm, is a Cold War noir that generated one of Fuller's most graphically dynamic campaigns. Shock Corridor (1963) and The Naked Kiss (1964) — Fuller's assault on American institutional corruption and suburban respectability — produced campaign materials of a different, more confrontational character: these were films designed to unsettle, and their advertising designs reflect that intention. White Dog (1982), his final Hollywood film about racism and a trained attack dog, was shelved by the studio and released with minimal materials. Surviving theatrical materials from Fuller's 1950s and 1960s output — particularly the one-sheets for The Steel Helmet and Pickup on South Street — are now genuinely scarce.
