THE NAKED ROAD is another late-stage 'sensation' movie of the kind that were so popular throughout the 1930s. This one is ostensibly about a young woman being kidnapped by slavers, but it looks and feels so tame and staid that the storyline feels more than a little preposterous. A risible budget leads to a single-location lounge setting and endless small-time chit-chat between two paper-thin leads. It feels very much like a TV movie and not at all controversial.
