Sam Fuller manages to put a little bit of everything into this neo-noir. It's definitely got some pulpy qualities, but it also managed to be sentimental and dramatic. While the style of the film is hard to pin down, all the technical aspects were great (cinematography, etc.). The juxtaposition between Kelly's work as a prostitute and her work as a nurse is a really interesting concept. It's great to see another strong female lead in an older movie. The story feels bold and interesting for its time, and the opening scene really set the audience up for an hour and thirty minutes of excitement and drama. Fuller really brings some some tough social topics, and doesn't sugarcoat anything. Although there are many B movie moments, there are also moments filled with beauty and insight.

If no one had told me The Naked Kiss was a low-budget movie, I wouldn't have known. In addition to not appearing to be a low-budget movie, it also doesn't appear out of place in the context of today's movies.Both the editing and movement of the camera were skillful. The film utilized techniques like ellipses and eyeline-matching to tell the story of Kelly (Constance Towers) not just well, but in a stunning manner. Take, for instance, the opening scene: a (mostly) POV shot of Kelly in the middle of an outrage, followed by the credits posed over her, fixing her appearance, the camera acting as the "mirror." This is the kind of stylistic choice that consistently adds to the power that Towers brings to the table throughout the film.My largest complaints with the movie, however, are with Kelly's relationship to Griff (Anthony Eisley), a local police captain. Griff's character very clearly represents male expectations of and disdain for a non-virginal (and unapologetic) woman operating on her own whims, wants, and principles. However, he seems to be so arbitrarily hot-and-cold with Kelly, leading me to feel quite confused about his contradictory actions toward the end.Maybe it's the independence of low-budget filmmaking that allowed The Naked Kiss to tackle the controversial topics that it does. Though the topics it covers even get upsetting, the film is somehow absolutely a feel-good movie. The prostitute-turned-saint-and-savior story told by The Naked Kiss isn't only what it sounds like, and the ride along the way is enjoyable from beginning to end.The audience gets to see many different sides of Towers' character Kelly. Her "past" self, her desire to be "better," her kind actions and fantasies (one particularly sweet fantasy sequence during a story-telling session at the children's hospital comes to mind) and even what she is capable of. Towers' performance is excellent in all of these aspects.The story told by The Naked Kiss, in addition to the way it was told, is still incredibly relevant and important.

The Naked Kiss which was made in 1964 is a classic movie based on drama, crime and romance. The way the story is told through many different types of societal "taboo's" is wonderfully brilliant. You are not watching this film and the whole time thinking what a terrible person the main character is. Instead there is a sense of wanted her to succeed. This film generated in the era of Hollywood's decline is a perfect example of other movies accosted with his time. The idea of prostitution, murder and another unforeseen things is expressed throughout the entire movie. The authors use of a film noir type drama is really pulled around this movie. This movie can also be seen as a great feminist movement. The men in the film are shown as people who deal with the same issues but are allowed to talk about it more openly due to the mere fact that they are men. The women in this movie are portrayed as strong while also dealing with the crippling issues that life throws at an individual from time to time. Overall this movie is a must see and really gets down to the nitty gritty of what life is really like for many.
