Summary

Philip Marinello and Spencer Parsons join Mike to look at Sam Fuller’s 1964 film The Naked Kiss. The film stars Constance Towers as Kelly, a call girl who turns over a new leaf by becoming the best darned nurse a small town hospital that specializes in the care of special needs kids has ever seen. She’s torn between two men, the sheriff who thinks she’s trash and needs to be run out of town to a nearby brothel and the successful entrepreneur who holds a shocking secret.
Constance Towers and Michael Dante (from a Noircon 2022 event) talk about working with Sam Fuller and the making of The Naked Kiss.
