Phil Tucker

Phil Tucker was an American film director, producer, writer, and editor. While Tucker directed his first six feature films in the span of two years, 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.
