...love with them, and fell hard. Hard enough, at least, to set off a serious debate on a group of films seemingly made only to fill the second half of a drive-in double bill. Some people called fuller a genius, and others labeled him a reactionary cigar-chomping fraud. Even the New York Times devoted an article to finding out who Sam Fuller was and what kind of picture the made...

On other occasions, admitted Rockefeller, he's been a "sucker...
