Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

swinginsean This film is a delightful surprise. I did not expect to enjoy it nearly as much as I did. It is somewhat of a dark comedy, and as one who rarely laughs out loud while watching a comedy, this film had me in stitches at various times. I came away puzzled as to why I had never heard of this film before, because I found it extremely entertaining. The only negative aspect of this film was how it ended, but otherwise, dark comedies don't get much better."The Naked Truth", aka: "Your Past is Showing" is a wonderful film about a British tabloid writer who blackmails his subjects. Peter Sellers plays one of the subjects, a master of disguise who refuses to pay up. He attempts to use his skills to eliminate his nemesis, but not before making a series of blunders. He soon discovers that he is not alone, and that he can only hope to be successful in his quest by joining forces with his fellow victims.

rube2424 Whether by it's original title, THE NAKED TRUTH, or the name it was given here in the States, YOUR PAST IS SHOWING, this film is almost continuously funny and sometimes downright hilarious. What a cast! Sellers is remarkable playing many different characters and shines except for one brief moment when you can see him "acting" and trying to upstage Terry-Thomas. Thomas is wonderful as are Peggy Mount and Joan Sims as her addled daughter. The beautiful Shirley Eaton shows a flair for comedy as well as looking amazing in every scene.If you want some good belly laughs give this little known British comedy a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

sol- An interesting premise is worked on well in this delightful British comedy. It has a number of amusing moments, and Peter Sellers is as good as ever in it. Joan Sims, on the hand, has a tendency to overplay her role, but the performers generally do quite well with their roles. It is a bit slow in the build up, but it is great once it gets moving. Some of the shots are definitely too dark though, even if set at nighttime, in that it is hard to see what is happening. I am not sure what, but something in the lighting set up could have surely been changed. With the plot of foiling the plans of a blackmailer, the different unsuccessful attempts start to get repetitive, but they are still amusing. It is a good film overall, even if a bit of a silly one.

winstonnc-1 Apparently released both as "The Naked Truth" and "Your Past Is Showing" (the name on the title card and title I remember in the U.S. run), this bustling little comedy about tabloid blackmailer is still jolly good fun going on 50 years later. Credit an amusing script and some fine casting that captures a gaggle of top-flight '50s British comedy talent in top form. Terry-Thomas and a young Peter Sellers (filmed here just before he gained fame with "The Mouse That Roared") are at the pinnacle of their Brit-comedy game and are ably abetted by the redoubtable Peggy Mount, luscious Shirley Eaton (a few years before her turn as the "golden girl" in "Goldfinger"), a caddish Dennis Price (as the oily blackmailer) and assorted classic British comedy stars, a number of whom seem to have had recurring bits in the "Carry On" series. The humor here is not as low and juicy as the "Carry On"s or as high and dry as the classic Ealing Studio Ealing comedies of the period - a pleasing mix. By contemporary standards, the film is a little slow - especially the set-up through the opening reels - but it all pays off very nicely with an avalanche of chuckles and a few great belly laughs. Keep a close eye on Sellers: although he plays a single character (a cheesy TV variety show emcee), he dons multiple disguises through the film, warming up for future roles in "Mouse" and "Dr. Strangelove" (where he played three parts in each) and those later "Pink Panther" comedies.
