...Havilland Sky Hawker is all fueled up. The Hasselblad camera is packed away in its tan case with the Senator's favorite 120-mm lens nestled in leather. He has a clutch of Arthur Adler's summer suits ready for rumpling. Tab, Fresca and coffee by the gallon are in the hold. The ghost of Everett McKinley Dirksen has been signed on. About this time Howard Henry Baker Jr. (5 ft. 7½ in., 160 lbs.) is ready to roll through 26 states, thumping and sweating and striving to be President...
There is something bright and burning about this Republican camera nut and son-in-law of the late Dirksen. It is Baker's season. In six months he has come up ten to twelve points in the opinion polls.

His films have been highly influential to Godard, among others, whose praise and tribute has lifted Fuller to a sort of cult status. Shock Corridor--starring no one you've ever heard of before--concerns a journalist who, in hopes of earning a Pulitzer prize, disguises himself as a patient in an insane...
