House of Bamboo (Fuller, 1955): BFI Southbank, NFT, 8.50pm
This great Sam Fuller film (also screening on Nov 11 & 16) is part of the Big Screen Classics programme at BFI Southbank (full details here).
Chicago Reader review:
One of Samuel Fuller’s best, a tough, sometimes nasty, but always exciting 1955 effort in ‘Scope and color that unites three of his favorite topics: military comradeship, the underworld, and the Far East. Robert Stack stars as an American undercover agent who dissembles his way into the good graces of a Tokyo protection racket headed by psychotic American hoodlum Robert Ryan.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
