Movie Reviews of The Naked Truth
Movie Review: The Naked Truth aka Your Past is Showing
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a riot! Peter Sellers is wonderful as usual along with Terry-Thomas. It will keep you laughing. It has to do with blackmail with several people involved in trying to get the evidence back. Along the way, several very funny things happen. This movie is also known as Your Past is Showing.
Summary of The Naked Truth
Celebrities hate them, politicians fear them and athletes despise themthe tabloids! Starring comic genius Peter Sellers, this "hilarious satire" (The Film Daily) proves that victims of slander can get their sweet revenge. Full of "high levity" (Cue), The Naked Truth is nothing short of an "attack on the funny bone" (Variety)! The publisher of The Naked Truth (Dennis Price) has been blackmailing prominent Londoners by threatening to print shocking stories about them. Actor Sonny MacGregor (Sellers), a prime target, figures the only way to stop him is to kill him! A master of disguises, Sonny repeatedly attempts to stop the poison press. But it looks like he'll need help from a band of unlikely assassins'those also scandalized on the rag's front page!In 1957's The Naked Truth, Terry-Thomas plays a peer of the realm being blackmailed in the company of Peter Sellers, Peggy Mount, and Shirley Eaton by a gutter-press journalist, Dennis Price ("Don't try to appeal to my better nature, because I haven't one"). One fascinating element in this picture is the portrayal of those relationships that could be only suggested in a period of tighter censorship, such as Peter Sellers's TV personality and Kenneth Griffith as his dresser, whose gay relationship is only faintly etched in here. More overt is the characterization of a masculine-looking authoress, known only by her initials, but sporting Agatha Christie's hairdo. The moments of slapstick are brought off to a tee, as when the larger-than-life Peggy Mount attempts a suicide drop from her window to be saved by an awning on a shop front. --Adrian Edwards
