White Dog

A young actress adopts a lost German shepherd, only to discover through a series of horrifying incidents that the dog has been trained to attack black people. Following a savage incident, she takes it to dog trainers, who set about working on re-conditioning the animal.

With his controversial late masterpiece White Dog, Samuel Fuller offers a brutally direct yet disturbingly nuanced allegory of American racism. White Dog was deemed too incendiary and shelved by Paramount for almost a decade, a move that drove Fuller into self-imposed exile in Paris, effectively ending his Hollywood career.

Filmography: The Big Red One (1980), The Naked Kiss (1964), Shock Corridor (1963), Merrill's Marauders (1962), Run of the Arrow (1957).
