The Naked Kiss

"Shock and Shame Story of a Night Girl!"

Jul 29 1964 Approved 1h 30m
Crime, Drama

A former prostitute works to create a new life for herself in a small town, but a shocking discovery could threaten everything.

Plot

The setup is pure pulp: A former prostitute (a crackerjack Constance Towers) relocates to a buttoned-down suburb, determined to fit in with mainstream society. But in the strange, hallucinatory territory of writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller, perverse secrets simmer beneath the wholesome surface. Featuring radical visual touches, full-throttle performances, brilliant cinematography by Stanley Cortez, and one bizarrely beautiful musical number, The Naked Kiss is among Fuller's greatest, boldest entertainments.
