The Naked Kiss

The Naked Kiss

The opening sequence is utterly memorable. This is weird and quite unique melodrama about middle class hypocrisy. Constance Towers is perfectly adroit at the saint, sinner, prostitute, angel at the core of this redemption dichotomy story. Noir, crazy and humane all at the same time.rn

Born to Kill

Born to Kill

One of the most profound noir thrillers ever made because of the emphasis on the psychology of two twisted characters. A low-life conniving murderer, Lawrence Tierney and a cold malevolent femme fatal, Claire Trevor totally lacking in morals. This is hard-core Noir.
