The Naked Kiss story is really strange.
The use of colour in Shock Corridor is really effecient - colour blurts out two or three times in this black & white film.

I love how
The Naked Kiss starts off with a bang. The fight where she gets her wig pulled of her head, and she then beats the crap out of her pimp. All this happens with a jazz soundtrack in the background. There's a beautiful song sung by one of the handicapped kids at the hospital, where she goes to work, so that she can change her life and leave the past behind. She earns her respect from the community, only to loose it again later.
I highly recommend
The Big red One, if you haven't seen it yet.
