Synopsis
Released in the U.S. as Your Past Is Showing, the British The Naked Truth is a wickedly funny satire of the tabloid-press industry.
Dennis Price
plays a scandal-sheet publisher named Nigel Dennis who lives high on the hog by blackmailing his wealthy targets. Several of Dennis' victims, including peer Lord Mayley (
Terry-Thomas
) and model Melissa Right (
Shirley Eaton
), plot to kill the extortion-grabbing publisher, to no avail. During a wild ride in a malfunctioning blimp, Dennis manages to accomplish by accident what his enemies have tried to do to him on purpose. Though second-billed, the real star of The Naked Truth is
Peter Sellers
as a smarmily "sincere" TV personality. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
