Patton Oswalt actor

“With some Sam Fuller, this is an amazing film, Forty Guns. Barbara Stanwyck with a whip, basically leading Gene Barry around by his nose. Fantastic Western. I got to see this back in the day with Sam Fuller and got to see Gene Barry talk about Sam Fuller giving him acting tips which was just, 'Be louder, grab him.' So boom, I'm in.”

Viggo Mortensen actor

“Forty Guns, Sam Fuller, the master of pulp fiction movie storytelling. There's a great shot that starts the movie where she's riding hell for leather, leading her 40 men with their 40 guns. Barbara Stanwyck is really great in this movie.”
