. . . to its screeching jarring jazz score, KISS HER GOODBYE ranks right down there as the LEONARD PART SIX for disease-of-the-week flicks. Apparently, the director instructed his cast to pretend that they were Pod People, just having replaced the body-snatched victims, and therefore awkward at the art of being human. Nearly every gesture and line reading rings false, as if aliens are encased in life-like human suits. (I heard that they shot this flick in Cuba, so if this crew of mostly unknowns are actually local extras who had their budding careers of impersonating Americans cut short by the Castro Boys, I can temper my critique a tad.) Regardless of such behind-the-scenes speculation, what's actually left viewable ON the screen by the makers of KISS HER GOODBYE is barely watchable. It should come as no surprise that no one has close-captioned this obscure misfire. Which is a real shame, since the lack of English subtitles takes away the option of ditching the incongruous and obtrusive score, plus the many crazy line renderings, by just hitting the mute button and skimming the captions. Too bad I'm not very good at lip-reading.
