Recensione:

Sam Fuller's A Third Face is an extraordinary account of the glory days of Hollywood when passion ruled instead of focus groups and creative accounting. Sam was not only a brilliant director and storyteller, but also a heroic man who fought the real war as a combat infantryman as well as the war against the front offices of the studios. This book will move and excite you, and you will learn what Hollywood is really like from the inside and what war is really like (which Fuller portrays in many of his films). It is aptly subtitled 'My Tale of Writing, Fighting, and Filmmaking.'
--- David Brown
