The Naked Kiss ~ 1964 -BW

QUICKIE: A prostitute trys to go straight in a new town where a cop harasses the crap out of her. She falls for a wealthy pedophile that she murders.

PLOT: (from IMDB) Constance Towers stars as Kelly, a prostitute who finds redemption in the town of Grantville, where she arrives working as a medium-time seller. There, she mets Griff (Anthony Eisley), the police captain of the town, with whom she spends a romantic afternoon. The woman, traumatized by an experience in the past called "The Naked Kiss" by psychiatrists, finally, finds a job as a nurser in a Hospital for handicapped children, experience that allows her to find a sensitive side in caring and patiently love each one of her little patients. Apparently, Kelly will find happiness in Grant (Michael Dante), her fiancé and Griff's partner, but she will be the witness of a shocking event that will threaten this happiness and even her mental health.

SUMMARY: Constance Towers is phenomenal in this film. Emotionally tugs at you throughout. She quits prostitution, moves to a new town and gets a job as a nurse in a disabled children's ward. As she plays Florence Nightengale, a cop harasses her to the point that even I want to kick him. His "a whore will always be a whore" attitude is infuriating. These old movies show how sexist things were, even in 1964. As well as always portraying cops as stupid bullies.

She falls for the towns' most eligible wealthy bachelor. Before the wedding she catches him in a pedophilic act and kills him with the phone. Really, how can you murder someone by hitting them with the handset of a phone? So, she gets arrested and the town turns against her. When the truth comes out of what really happened, the town rallies support for her. She gets released from jail and leaves town for a fresh start.
