No, his best are the ones like Shoot the Piano Player, which
is
basically just about being on the run, Cassidy's Girl and the
recently
reissued Blonde on the Street Corner which are just about
down-and-out
guys being torn between two women, and my favorite, Street of
No Return.
This last is just about one day in the life of a drunk who
happens to
spot a woman from his past and follows her. But skip the
movie. I had
to see it, based on my favorite Goodis novel and it was one
of Samuel
Fuller's last films (possibly the very last), but it is just
awful.
