I Miss You Hugs And Kisses (1973) 4/10

I Miss You Hugs And Kisses, aside from having the longest title ever, was one of the 74 "Video Nasties" banned in the Uk in the early 80s. Some of these films were deserving candidates while others were just caught in the crossfire, I Miss... Is one of those films.

I Miss You Hugs And Kisses is about a wealthy man on trial for the murder of his wife. The film follows the trial proceedings and parallels his life as certain major events are brought up. We, the audience, don't know who killed her and the film is set up to make up our own minds.

The film was outright banned in the UK and it's hard to see why. Sure its about adultery, greed, and power. And yes the murder of the wife involves a large pipe crushing her head but we don't see it much and that scene is the only scene of graphic violence in the film.

I Miss You Hugs And Kisses is a watchable thriller/drama but certainly did not deserve the ban it received in the UK. This one's for Video Nasty completests only, if you can track down this rare film.

Gore - Mild

Nudity - Some
