To cinephiles the name Sam Fuller should be a familiar one. The late director (Fuller died in 1997) was known as the "King of the B's", even though he dismissed the title. Revered in France and idolized by some on this side of the Atlantic (notably Jim Jarmusch), the cigar-chomping auteur was something of a maverick in his heyday—a fiercely independent iconoclast with a lurid, tabloid esthetic.
Lots of folks have jumped on the Fuller bandwagon of late, following on the heels of a Tim Robbins-produced documentary, The Typewriter, the Rifle & the Movie Camera that features interviews with some of today's hottest directors: Jim Jarmusch, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino. And while pulp flicks like Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss are now (rightfully) lauded, you might want to check out some of Fuller's other, lesser-known works.
There's a huge chasm that separates these two similar-on-the-surface but stylistically different movies and the great film critic Manny Farber really nailed it (for me anyway) in a famous essay written many years ago entitled "White Elephant Art vs. Termite Art". Here, Costner's is the lumbering, overly praised and prized (it won the Academy Award for Best Picture) prestige film while Run of the Arrow is the modest but fast-paced, low-budget yet laudable "B" picture. You'd be wise to pass on the former (Costner's white elephant) and seek out the later (Fuller's industrious termite).
Run of the Arrow opens on Palm Sunday, April 9, 1865, in Appomattox, Virginia—on "the last day of the War Between the States." Rod Steiger (with Irish accent) plays Pvt. O'Meara, a bitter Confederate soldier who fires the last shot of the war, wounding (but not killing) a Union officer (Ralph Meeker). While the warped bullet—a saved souvenir—is "close to the heart", Meeker survives and the two will, significantly, meet up again later in the film. I really like an early scene where O'Meara watches from a tented medical outpost—where he has deposited Meeker after stealing his horse—as Lee surrenders to Gen. Grant. It's a beautiful tableau, precisely staged with all the decorum one might see in a historic painting—observed from just the right distance (Lee, notably, exits on a white horse). Its all shot from one man's rather war-weary, but romantic point of view and historical accuracy is beside the point.
O'Meara, as we are soon to learn, is a man harboring a great deal of hate—a man not ready (or willing) to accept defeat. Aiming his rifle at Grant, he stops just short of pulling the trigger ("If you're going to shoot Grant you better shoot Lee too, else the shame will kill 'em"). There's some really striking and strong dialogue a couple of scenes later, as O'Meara comes home to tell his mother (on a small bridge with a number of silent townsfolk poised in the background) that "the baboon was shot too late." He's referring to Lincoln and mom counters that her son should show some respect, "even if it's for a dead, damn Yankee President."
Confederates were expected to take an oath of allegiance before being allowed back into the Union, but a tearful O'Meara's not about to do that ("I'll hang before I recognize that flag"). Instead, he heads out to the far West where he meets up with Walking Coyote, a wandering Sioux Indian, nicely played by veteran character actor Jay C. Flippen (the two are vaguely reminiscent of Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer in Jim Jarmusch's terrific Dead Man). Walking Coyote sizes O'Meara up quickly—calling him "Mr. Johnny Sore Loser"—but the two strike up a genuine friendship, perhaps because the old Indian sees a bit of himself in the lone renegade posture that O'Meara strikes. It's in these scenes that we learn Sioux is a French word that means "cut throat". And we also learn of O'Meara's desire to become a Sioux (because, as he tells Walking Coyote, "cut throats should stick together").
