Dennis
Price leads this classic British romp. Price plays a publisher of a
sensation paper (the "Naked Truth" of the title) but discovers that the
quickest way to a fortune is by threatening to publish the
indiscretions of the rich and famous - blackmail! He comes unstuck when
his victims band together to elminate the threat - and when the victims
include Terry Thomas, Peter Sellers and Peggy Mount it's a fair bet
that the methods used to dispose of Mr Price are a) unconventional, b)
amusing, and c) doomed to failure.
This jolly film was written by Michael Pertwee, a member of the
talented Pertwee dynasty - father Roland was an actor, writer and
director; brother Jon was a famous Dr Who; actor cousin Bill was
Mr Hodges (the air raid warden) in Dad's Army - and
neice
Dannielle and nephew Sean are both successful screen actors.

For
audiences increasingly tired with the pompous 70s disaster movies that
merely recycled former glories, "Airplane!" was the key that unlocked
them from the shackles of big budget boredom. The relentless stream of
gags, many at the expense of glossy Hollywood dramas, were unflinching
in exposing contrived plot devices to maximum comedic effect.
No sight gag, one liner or surreal train of lunatic logic is
left unturned!
