Recensione di Groverdox

In the '70s Roger Corman and his wife Julie produced a series of sexploitation flicks with "Nurses" in the titles. They started with "The Student Nurses" and ended with "Candy Stripe Nurses" a few years later. The guy who directed "Candy Stripe Nurses" used to joke that he killed the series with this last one. It is hard to imagine that it's any worse than the others, though. I saw "Student Nurses" some time ago but have completely forgotten about it.

The plot of this one - and, in fact, all the Corman nurse films - is about a few young nurses who volunteer at a hospital and the lame hijinks that ensue. One of them is nearly raped by a basketball player, whom she rebuffs and then changes her might for no clear reason and has sex with him anyway. Another tries to seduce a British rock star who looks a bit like Frank Zappa, who rebuffs her, but then possibly changes his mind, or something. And another one is looking after a guy who is recovering from injuries sustained in a robbery he is under arrest for, but the nurse believes he's innocent.

At least the women are attractive, and there's decent nudity, though none of them get fully naked, which is typical. I don't know what the deal is with that. Breasts and bare butts - fine. Pubic hair - not allowed. It's the same in most US sexploitation stuff; you have to go to European flicks to get the full frontal stuff.
