There are few movies like The Naked Kiss, a film far ahead of its time, especially in its portrayal of a tough woman unafraid of physically confronting either sex. It’s a bruising film, harsh and relentless, and it lays bare the hurdles society places in front of those who attempt to change their lives; in this case, a world weary prostitute trying to turn her life around. — Jimmy Gillman

Minor niggles conspire to stop this being one of Samuel Fuller‘s best. It still comes highly recommended, however, as does pretty much any movie that has his name attached to it. Worth your time. — Kevin Matthews
