The greatest opening scene from a movie, ever. This is how Samuel Fuller's 1964 movie The Naked Kiss begins.

There. Do you see what happens when people don't hide their rage and frustration? Carnage, pure and simple. Carnage and jazz.

Wowie. That WAS great.

Now, off to somehow work the phrase "Carnage and Jazz" into a conversation.

I can't watch this on this computer, and it's been a bunch of years since I saw The Naked Kiss, but I re-watched Pickup on South Street a month or so ago and was blown away all over again. It's made me want to go through all of Fuller's stuff, much of it reviewing, but I haven't yet had the chance.

I just got into Fuller in the last few years, mostly out of curiosity about White Dog. (I finally found it on DVD- it's an amazing, heartbreaking movie.) He was a fascinating director, making art out of genre movies.

richat, I read that as "Cabbage and Jazz" for some reason.

BP, he made that movie because he wanted to prove there were worse things than prostitutes.

I was confused by the lack of nakedness (well...) and kissing.
