Samuel Fuller
Fuller shifted from Westerns and war movies in the 1960s with his low-budget thriller ''Shock Corridor'' in 1963, followed by the neo-noir ''The Naked Kiss'' (1964). He was inactive in filmmaking for most of the 1970s, before writing and directing the semi-autobiographical war epic ''The Big Red One'' (1980), and the drama ''White Dog'' (1982), whose screenplay he co-wrote with Curtis Hanson. Several of his films would prove influential to French New Wave filmmakers, notably Jean-Luc Godard, who gave him a cameo appearance in ''Pierrot le Fou'' (1965). Provided by Wikipedia
