Samuel Fuller

i think they found the film itself racist given that it was about dogs trained to attack blacks.  god forbid they actually see it for themselves though.

[rustinglass]

that's truly retarded. it's like saying schindler's list is fascist propaganda given that it's about nazis concentrating and killing the jews.

Title: The Big Red One
Released: 3rd May 2005
SRP: $26.99

Further Details
Warner has officially announced a two-disc special edition of The Big Red One which stars Lee Marvin. "The real glory of war," Samuel Fuller said, "is surviving." A decorated combatant with the famed U.S. First Infantry in WWII, Fuller survived. His 1980 film version of his war experiences did not until now. Working with 70,000 feet of vault materials and Fuller's shooting script, critic/filmmaker Richard Schickel heads a reconstruction that adds over 40 minutes and transforms a truncated but admired war film into an epic masterwork. Lee Marvin, in a richly layered performance now revealed as one of his finest, stars as the sergeant of peach-fuzzed riflemen fighting from North Africa to Normandy and across Europe. The film is the squad's combat diary, war as it's fought and sweated and bled, and, maybe, survived. As well as a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and English Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the disc will include an audio commentary, documentaries, additional scenes, a photo gallery and a TV spot.
