WHITE DOG
USA/1981/Colour/84mins/35mm/HP Dir: Sam Fuller.
One of the most famous "unseen" films, White Dog never got a theatrical run in the US even though it had a well-known cast, a legendary director, and a powerful subject - racism. Writer Curtis (L.A Confidential) Hanson and Fuller fashioned an intense yarn about an up-and-coming LA actress (Kristy McNichol), who takes in a German shepherd after she hits it with her car, only to discover that her new pet is a deadly White Dog, trained from birth to hate anyone with black skin. Music by Ennio Morricone.“White Dog is an unusual, often powerful study of racism in the guise of a man vs animal suspenser.” Variety
