5.0 out of 5 starsAn often overlooked noir classic
By James Mac on 10 April 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Though this film appeared rather later than many of the flicks that it is often listed beside, it stands out as an oddity, due to its still-troubling subject: a prostitute, seen at the start of the film bald-headed and fighting a pimp - encounters prejudice and presumption as she attempts to gain a new, almost-idyllic life in a small town. The denouement, however is extremely shocking - even by today's standards. In the sense of form, it looks to the past, while in subject matter it looks to the future with a grimness normally reserved for sordid times-square packerbacks. The real genius of the noir movie is found when it lifts the veil of social morality- hence its longtime association with existentialism and nihilism, though often streaked with optimism. For me, this film again proves that such hopeful sentiments cannot bear the weight of what must be endured, imagined or ignored in order to achieve them.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent, daring noir melodrama from cult director
By Richard Bowden on 20 Dec. 2006
Format: DVD
The Naked Kiss opens with a shocking pre-credit sequence, shot partly with cameras harnessed to the actors, in which we see a furious woman beating a man with her handbag. He grabs at her and her wig comes off, revealing that she is totally bald - a prostitute who has been shaved in punishment by the pimp she is now assaulting. Kelly (Constance Towers), the hooker eventually makes her way to Grantville, a small town in New England and after a brief liaison with a law enforcement officer, abandons her bad ways and becomes a nurse in a children's hospital. In due course she becomes engaged to Grant (Michael Dante) a rich and handsome Korean War veteran. Grant, however, has a dark secret of his own... Sam Fuller started his career in newspapers, wrote some pulp novels and screenplays, and then wandered the United States as a tramp on freight trains during the Depression before serving with distinction in the US Army. Starting with I Shot Jesse James (1949) he directed a series of sometimes-controversial films that established him as a cult auteur, especially in Europe. His critical stock remains high today, for instance amongst such modern filmmakers as Quentin Tarantino and Tim Robbins. Perhaps Fuller's quote that "Film is a battleground. Love, hate, violence, action, death... in a word, emotion" is the most famous statement of his creative philosophy. Certainly the assaults come thick and fast in The Naked Kiss, either during the opening scene (where the camera angles suggest that blows are struck directly against the audience's point of view), or the two other attacks by an out of control Kelly on Candy (Virginia Grey) the Madame, or Grant respectively. Finally of course there is the 'battleground' of the legal process in which the heroine finds herself entangled.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars“The Naked Kiss” on BLU RAY – Compatibility Issues For UK and EUROPEAN Buyers…
By Mark Barry HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 28 Feb. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
At present this 1964 American Black and White cult classic starring Constance Towers is only available on BLU RAY in the States (boasting a top notch transfer too). But therein lies a problem for UK and European buyers…

The US issue is REGION-A LOCKED - so it WILL NOT PLAY on most UK Blu Ray players unless they're chipped to play 'all' regions (which the vast majority aren't). Don’t confuse BLU RAY players that have multi-region capability on the 'DVD' front – that won’t help.

Until such time as someone else gives “The Naked Kiss” a REGION B and C release – check your ‘BLU RAY’ player has the capacity to play REGION A – before you buy the pricey Criterion issue…
