The daring and provocative films of maverick American filmmaker Samuel Fuller were some of the most hard-hitting, outspoken, politically progressive, and visually audacious works of the Hollywood studio era. Taking apart the crime and gangster thriller, his tale of vice and violence, the controversial Underworld U.S.A., is among the fiercest and starkest films made about organised crime.

The final western from one of the genre's greatest directors, Budd Boetticher (Ride Lonesome), and the last screen appearance of war hero-turned-movie star Audie Murphy (To Hell and Back), A Time for Dying is an offbeat, elegiac look at the Old West, prefiguring Don Siegel's classic western, and John Wayne's final picture, The Shootist. Richard Lapp stars as a young man with fine shooting skills who crosses paths with real-life figures, such as Jesse James (played by Murphy) and Judge Roy Bean (Victor Jory), and discovers the true violence of the West. Beset by post-production and distribution problems, A Time for Dying is overdue the recognition it deserves.
