TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues This daring picture show why Sam Fuller is so loved by filmmakers and the true movie fans around the world,how he get to do this movie in that period of time in such forbidden ground,much ahead a his time...and more the main character is a prostitute became more powerful yet....this controversial director with tight budge made this gem and also written and produced as well,he did only 23 movies in your career,but Hollywood no longer didn't have a place to this kind of director, nevertheless he left a lot of followers and increasingly beloved!!!

c-fronk Sam Fuller manages to put a little bit of everything into this neo-noir. It's definitely got some pulpy qualities, but it also managed to be sentimental and dramatic. While the style of the film is hard to pin down, all the technical aspects were great (cinematography, etc.). The juxtaposition between Kelly's work as a prostitute and her work as a nurse is a really interesting concept. It's great to see another strong female lead in an older movie. The story feels bold and interesting for its time, and the opening scene really set the audience up for an hour and thirty minutes of excitement and drama. Fuller really brings some some tough social topics, and doesn't sugarcoat anything. Although there are many B movie moments, there are also moments filled with beauty and insight.

k-ellinger This movie starts out with such excitement, the audience is left confused and interested. The audience becomes curious as to who these people are that are fighting and why they are fighting. This makes the audience become interested enough to keep watching. We soon meet Kelly, a prostitute trying to start a new life in a small town. She quickly realizes that she shouldn't be doing that after she meets a man named Griff, who had started a hospital for children with special needs. Kelly ends up getting a job there and discovers how well she works with the children there. She soon falls in love with Griff's partner, Grant, and they soon plan to get married. While she gets adjusted to her new life in this new town, she learns a lot about herself and who she could really be.

rewolfsonlaw Others who understand Samuel Fuller's brave, groundbreaking daring genius have written excellent reviews of this highly unusual if technically lacking film that from 1964 explores topics still shocking today. I'm not easily forgiving or surprised, but "The Naked Kiss" manages to overcome its faults (wooden acting, sometimes bludgeoning but perhaps necessary sermonizing)by producing what no other film or film maker that I know of did at the time, maybe still. It is a film about the seamy underside of life and its human actors that tells it like it almost is, as much as it could at the time. Like one alcoholic sharing his story with another, it works because we believe in the sincerity of the storyteller. Forget all the low budget criticism; what studio actor would dare have been associated with a film about prostitutes, abortion, violence and pedophilia, all in the perspective of a prophet revealing the hypocrisy of moral society. The biblical prophets were unpopular in their time, too, and Sam Fuller remains a visionary whose work and voice are and remain absolutely unique.
