Directed by Samuel Fuller | 1957
With Barbara Stanwyck, Barry Sullivan, Dean Jagger
"If you've ever wondered why Godard and other French New Wave directors deify Fuller, this movie explains it all."
—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Every frame of Samuel Fuller’s delirious Freudian western crackles with explosive psychosexual subtext. Barbara Stanwyck stars as the whip-toting dominatrix who rules over an Arizona territory with her army of 40 hired guns—until she meets her match in an ex-killer turned lawman (Sullivan). Shot in just 10 days, Forty Guns shows Fuller cutting loose with the anarchic stylistic experiments that made him a forefather of the French New Wave.
