The credits list him as "J.L. Grant"; it's probably something embarrassing like "Jerubabel Lamont." He goes by his last name. The credits list him as “J.L.

Does that make him Grant Grant? Or was the town named after him? So the child-molester-scion of Grantville is named Grant? Does that make him Grant Grant? Or was the town named after him?

On Wednesday, I went to the Melbourne Cinematheque and discovered that they were showing a retrospective of his films; then you posted this; and just today I received Pickup On South Street from Quickflix only to discover that Samuel Fuller directed that one, too. Still, he seems fairly competent, so it's a pity that this one falls short. They showed White Dog on Wednesday, and that film was marvellous.
