Naked Alibi arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio; while some video noise is noticeable on lighter surfaces, solid and stable blacks, consistent grain, and impressive density levels make for a very respectable viewing experience.

Audio: 81

The Blu-ray audio presentation of 'Naked Alibi' features a single English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track, boasting excellent clarity, depth, and stability. The dynamic music score is well-supported, with no audio dropouts, background hiss, or distortions, offering a superior listening experience.

Extra: 36

The Blu Ray of 'Naked Alibi' includes a 1080p vintage trailer, an additional trailer selection from Kino Lorber's catalog, and a reversible cover boasting vintage poster art. Kat Ellinger’s audio commentary delves into stars Gloria Grahame and Sterling Hayden, though often diverging from the film's core production specifics.

Movie: 66

Naked Alibi's Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber provides a conventional yet gripping noir experience, complemented by engaging performances from Hayden, Grahame, and Barry, and atmospheric cinematography by Russell Metty. While the script and direction sometimes falter, the film's core narrative and new audio commentary by Kat Ellinger offer significant insights into its production and cultural impact.
