Plots(1)
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.

Samuel Fuller had a gift for interesting stories that have a lot of darkness in them but are still interesting to the audience. This story starts off strangely, and the bald woman is quite surprising. But its course is no less interesting, and it definitely deserves attention. Fuller has a lot of interesting films in his filmography.
