Ep #10 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1961
The Innocents (1961)
Cinema60 continues its series of Kiss, Marry, Kill, this time with a focus on the year 1961. As previously explained, it’s a variation on the ol’ FMK game, played year by year as we go through the decade. Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1961.
Jenna chose films that focused primarily on women for all three of her choices, while Bart followed his heart and chose three films he had strong opinions on. All six turn out to be kinda saucy, so get ready for some frank discussion on sex and a whole lot of fadeouts the second somebody gets a little too close to somebody else on the bench.
