The Naked Kiss

Streaming video - 1964

A former prostitute attempts to assimilate in suburbia after fleeing her pimp. She soon falls in love with a member of the town's wealthiest family, but shortly before her wedding, finds out that her philanthropic fiance has a horrific secret. A searing melodrama thematically ahead of his time, Samuel Fuller's classic film dares to explore taboo subjects with unique style and unforgettable performances. *"THE NAKED KISS finds Sam Fuller's tabloid sensibilities boiling to the surface, as it dwells on the uncomfortable and taboo subjects of deviancy, prostitution, and small-town sanctimony. In typical Fuller style, it's a hard look at a nightmarish world, lurid and absorbing enough to demand that the viewer watch.&quo...t; - Jerry Renshaw, **The Austin Chronicle***
