Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
c-fronk 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.
nhudak-99559 After watching The Naked Kiss I'm disappointed that music isn't like this in more modern day movies. I don't know why, but, the smooth jazz that is heard in the movie adds a flare to it that keeps me glued to the screen. It honestly something I was not going to expect from a film during the 1960s. And that opening scene is just so perfectly done. The shakiness of the camera along with the jazz music it is just so good that from that point on I had no idea what to expect. Either way the film left me impressed by the end of it that I was not disappointed. I loved everything about it that it definitely needs to be something you watch when you have the free time. Cause it will help you develop more love for these classic films.
Olivia S This was kind of an odd movie. I liked how different it was and the fact that a female was the protagonist and "villan" in the movie. I liked the way how the lighting was alternated between light and dark, it really gave a deceiving feel; it was as though everything was all happy and bright but there was a lot of evil lurking beyond our eyes. The characters did really well at portraying their roles. You could see how hard she was trying to keep a normal life and you could see that he wasn't all good looks and charms and he had another side to him, too. I felt like the meaning was that you don't know what kind of secrets people can hide. It was showing that no matter how perfect someone comes off as, they will definitely have skeletons in their closet, maybe less or more than yours.
joedebritz This is a very innovative film. Because it is an independent film, the makers were able to have more freedom with the content. This film deals with the underbelly of society, including topics of prostitution and pedophilia. While some might find this disturbing, I find it refreshing, there is no use ignoring the parts of life that we care not to think about. This is a real film, with real characters, and a very real story. I enjoy it because of that. It also has a very unique feel to it, I wouldn't be surprised if contemporary directors like Quentin Tarentino and David Fincher pulled inspiration from it. It is important to have films like this one that break precedents that need to be broken.
