Synopsis
The Naked Kiss (1964) is Samuel Fuller's crime drama, ready to watch online on iFILM. It opens on a scene you can't look away from: former prostitute Kelly beating her pimp straight into the camera. Then she boards a bus and heads to small-town Grantville to start over.
Constance Towers plays a woman who buries her past and takes a job nursing disabled children — and she's good at it. The local police chief, Griff, doesn't buy the reform for a second and keeps reminding her that women like her don't belong in a decent town. Then Kelly falls for Grantville's richest, most respected man, and stumbles onto a secret that makes her own history look almost harmless by comparison.
Fuller built a tough, near-pulp noir where the deliberately lurid surface hides a sharp question about who in this town is actually clean. The black-and-white film became a cult favorite among classic-cinema fans and filmmakers like Tarantino. For anyone who likes their sixties cinema blunt and uncomfortable, it's essential viewing.
