Quick Summary

The Naked Kiss is a 1964 film directed by Samuel Fuller. It is known for its shocking and disturbing content, which was characteristic of Fuller's gritty style.1

The film centers on a former prostitute, played by Constance Towers, who attempts to start a new, respectable life in a quiet town. However, she discovers that her new boyfriend is a child molester. The film's opening scene, featuring a violent confrontation between Towers' character and her pimp, is often cited as an example of Fuller's explosive filmmaking. The Naked Kiss confronted its audience with difficult themes and was not a commercial success at the time of its release.1
