The Naked Kiss (1964) by Sam Fuller
#1
A prostitute decides to go straight and devotes herself to helping handicapped children, but a police captain (and her last trick) can't believe she can change and does everything possible to be an absolute asshole.  Sheesh!

The highlight of the movie is the passing shot of a movie theater whose marque prominently displays Shock Corridor, my favorite of Sam Fuller's work.  I actually got up and tried to crawl into the TV to enter that theater, but my hips aren't quite ready for that.

The police captain spoiled this for me in so many ways.  Maybe it was the actor, more likely the script.

I did learn what a naked kiss is, but can't really say without partially spoiling things.  Besides, you probably know already.

P.S. Why did I watch this? I need to make better choices. Maybe I should go tackle Squid Game.

OK, no, it's all the unwashed masses. Who knows what all the cool kids are doing...

If I am to recommend any movies by Sam Fuller, it will always be 'Shock Corridor'
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
