Lauren Bacall hosts this TV-special roundup of Hollywood's most celebrating kissing scenes Ms. Bacall should be an authority on screen kisses: during her long career, she was well and fully smooched by the likes of John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Charles Boyer...and, of course, her first husband, Humphrey Bogart. The collection begins with the 1896 Edison vignette The Kiss, takes us through the torrid twenties (Garbo et. al.), muses over the censorship rules of the 1930s and 1940s (when kisses could last no longer than 3 seconds), breezes through the anything-goes 1960s and 1970s, and closes with current choice examples of cinematic busses. There's no real point to the film, but it's nice to have around. At 47 minutes, Kisses is just long enough to avoid the wearing out of welcome. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
