The Naked Kiss (1964)Movies

Seedy neo-noir with flashes of red hot melodrama, tonal shifts guided in part by the score switching between fiery jazz and the more typical orchestral music, the latter often playing quite ironically. A prostitute steps off the bus in an idyllic little suburb, promptly sleeps with a cop, and when she wakes up the next day, decides to go straight, but the wealthy man she hopes to settle down with has a secret far nastier than anything she has to hide. Pair with Blue Velvet for a scathing and strange double-feature about deviance hiding beneath the facades of suburban bliss.
