I'M BACK! That's right everyone I'm like Jason Statham; I can't be killed. There's been a lot of hectic things happening over the past few weeks but I'm not here to talk about my evil nonsense, I'm here to talk about movies. And luckily with a list my brother provided I found an excellent film noir that escalated for the beginning frame and I'm not lying when I say this, it got out of hand fast furthermore that's defiantly something I never see in a movie like The Naked Kiss.
A former proustite attempts to assimilate in a suburbia after fleeing her pimps; shortly before her wedding, she finds out that her philanthropic fiancée has a shocking sexual interest.
Samuel Fuller director of Naked Kiss, actually started off as a reporter at the age of 17, famously broke the case story of a famous actress in New York City at the time then became a pulp novelist then for a short time throughout the late thirties, he began a leap of faith by writing his first screenplay, later in life Fuller claimed that "if reporters got paid a thousand dollars like directors do, I'd still be reporting today". Fuller's films through the fifties and early sixties explored a ton of controversial subjects almost the same way like Kubrick does with his films and really when it comes to this film I'm surprised Fuller doesn't get a whole lot of reputation though I personally feel it's because people in the fifties as well as sixties were not going to allow this kind of movie in their local theater for which sure that's fine but it would at least be convenient to have a movie like this at a later time right? I mean sure citizens as well as MPAA don't want to show this to their kids, but you can't deny a scary act that would happen in your local neighborhood. Now I'm not going to spoil a whole lot of details just because I want everyone to watch this movie, but this is an excellent film about a woman whose trying the best of her ability to have a fresh start on a new life from her past, as well as going straight, especially wanting to set an example to the fellow girls she works with but when she witness a disturbing secret, and of course, she acts and found to be guilty but through the course of act 3, you continue to root for actress Constance Towers (who plays the lead in the film) because you know what she's doing is justified but everyone doesn't believe her and as an audience member that puts a lot of hate in your heart. And personally, I look at this movie and give this a ton of praise from both Towers as well as Samuel Fuller because they knew the subject they were approaching with the film and went full force with it and this film is a great definition of sticking with your guns from beginning to end. If you have Tubi and love watching hidden gems as well as some classic movies then I would highly recommend watching The Naked Kiss and trust me when I say this, this film literally gets you sucked in from the very first opening frame and never let’s go till the very end of the closing credits.
