Watch The Naked Truth Movie Online.
Movie Title: The Naked Truth The Naked Truth is available for streaming or downloading. |
“The Naked Truth”, also known as “Your Past is Showing” is one of those hilariously daffy comedies that Britain seemed to turn out with great regularity in the 50s and into the 60s. The premise is quite outlandish and “over-the-top”, but–hey–it’s a comedy with never a dull moment, so who cares ?

First I must begin with a confession–I am a life-long, diehard Terry-Thomas fan. Since this film gives him one of his best roles, my review might be a bit prejudiced ! He is “Lord Mayley”, a self-important, pompous English peer, who suddenly finds himself being blackmailed by Nigel Dennis ( wonderfully smarmy Dennis Price ), a dirt-digging journalist and publisher of a scandal tabloid, “The Naked Truth”. It seems that Lord Mayley has not always been a “faithful husband”, and his escapades will be printed for the world to see–unless, of course, he pays 10,000 pounds to slimy Nigel !
Nigel also has other “victims”. Obnoxious “Scottish” television personality, Sonny MacGregor (the superb Peter Sellers )–mystery writer, Flora Ransom (formidable Peggy Mount)–and, hoping to marry her American oil-millionaire boyfriend, Melissa Wright (lovely Shirley Eaton).

All of these people individually, later collectively, make hilarious attempts to do away with the odious Nigel Dennis, usually with crazy ideas that backfire very badly. The ending is a genuine rib-tickler.
For Peter Sellers’ fans, he has a field day with various disguises and accents, so that he can get close to the nasty Mr. Dennis without being detected. The supporting cast also includes future “Carry On” legend, Joan Sims, as Ethel, Flora Ransom’s “scattered” daughter. Dennis Price deserves more kudos–the whole film revolves around his smug, sleazy character–”please don’t appeal to my better nature–I don’t have one !”
The picture is a black and white, letterbox format–I found the quality to be excellent. The sound is, of course, mono. There are no extras–I would have loved some “memories” from Ms. Eaton.
If you like British comedies with a really witty script, and amusing performances from a fine cast, “The Naked Truth” or “Your Past is Showing”–whichever title you prefer–belongs in your DVD collection. With Mr. Thomas and Mr. Sellers waiting to tickle your funny bone, push that “buy immediately” button, and let Amazon send you this “chucklefest” !
The selling point for “The Naked Truth” is that it features a young Peter Sellers. Truth be told this is more of an ensemble effort and not what you would call a break-out role for Sellers. Sellers as a “Scottish” television personality is given the opportunity to employ a number of disguises and voice characterizations that are amusing but not fitfully so. The film’s central premise of a group of prominent Brits who conspire to dispatch a blackmailing tabloid publisher(Dennis Price of “Kind Hearts and Coronets”) is played more for broad slapstick than for the macabre dark comedy of classic Ealing comedies. These observations aside this is a highly enjoyable film with a good laugh quotient. Solid cast also includes the irrepressible Terry-Thomas and Shirley Eaton(”Goldfinger”).
