The Naked Kiss 5:30

Fuller's tabloid sensibilities propelled his most florid tale, starring!nbsp;Constance Towers as a prostitute who descends on Anytown, U.S.A.!nbsp;in an effort to go straight (but only after a last trick with the town!nbsp;police chief) and winds up caught in a web of scandal. Marked by one of!nbsp;the most striking openings in cinema, where a bald Towers is seen beating her pimp senseless with a high-heel shoe and taking "only what's!nbsp;coming to her" from the cash in his pocket, The Naked Kiss careens wildly from double entendre-laced!nbsp;melodrama to stirring morality play, Fuller's sharp dialogue!nbsp;and black humor bridging the impossible gaps between genres. Towers's!nbsp;Kathy keeps a straight face as she effortlessly goes from hooker to!nbsp;pediatric orthopedist, even as her dark past threatens to consume her, and!nbsp;her love affair with the town's richest man reveals the true meaning of!nbsp;the "naked kiss."-Peter Conheim
