One Naked Night

This is a low budget exploitation tale, mostly shot silent, relying on sorrowful narration by the girl who has come to New York after her whore mom's suicide. Moving in her only friend, a pin-up model, she finds idyllic, if temporary, romance with a photographer, then a sculptor, before descending into a mildly debauched sex party scene. The photography and editing are sharp, set to a relentless cool flute and bongo soundtrack. There is twisting. The scenes of bygone New York are beautiful, from the girl's arrival at Grand Central, to Times Square in a less gaudy age, to unchanging Central Park. This is worth a look for fans of 1960's style.
