Worcester’s own Sam Fuller was one of the toughest, most influential B-movie directors of all time. A pioneer of independent filmmaking, Fuller was consistently ahead of his time in depicting progressive politics on screen. In THE CRIMSON KIMONO, a white cop and his Japanese American partner become enmeshed in a love triangle while on the hunt for the murderer of a stripper in L.A.’s Little Tokyo.
