Phil Tucker
Phil Tucker (May 22, 1927 – November 30, 1985) was an American film director, producer, writer, and editor. While Tucker directed his first six feature films in the span of two years (while still in his mid-20s), he is best known for his first film, the science fiction B movie ''Robot Monster'', often considered an example of "so bad it's good" film-making in the Ed Wood vein, and for the Lenny Bruce movie ''Dance Hall Racket'' featuring Bruce's wife Honey Harlow. In 1952, he was reportedly offered $300,000 to make a sympathetic biopic about Lucky Luciano. In December 1953, he attempted suicide in response to the poor reception of ''Robot Monster'' and his subsequent inability to find work. According to ''Keep Watching The Skies!'' by Bill Warren, his attempted suicide was actually fueled by depression and a dispute with the film's distributor, who had allegedly refused to pay Tucker his contracted percentage of the film's profits. There are further claims that after 1955, Tuc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
