Défense de toucher (1975)
Ursula Andress (Dr No; Mountain Of The Cannibal God; She) has been voted the top Bond girl of all time, making her mark on cinema in the famous Dr No scene with that bikini. Well, if youÂ’ve ever wondered what sheÂ’d look like without the bikini, then reach for Shameless Screen EntertainmentÂ’s release of The Nurse (LÂ’infermiera! Literally: Andress is undressed for most part of this pun-filled romp-com.
Jack Palance (Batman; Tango And Cash) plays a mean offbeat American tycoon looking to buy a vineyard in the beautiful Tuscan hills. The old Italian owner, a randy lecher who is convalescing from his last bonk-induced heart-attack, doesn’t want to sell, even if his madcap family does. The family hires the gorgeous Nurse, Ursula Andress to … ahem… undress and give the old man another – and they hope fatal – cardiac arrest! All barmy, fizzy fun and the clincher – this is the only non-Bond franchise with a second Bond girl! Thunderball’s stunning leather-clad biker, Luciana Paluzzi (The Green Slime) stars here without leathers… or anything!
This release will mark the first DVD release of The Nurse in the UK!

    Nude goddess Ursula in a very disappointing sex comedy

    Ursula Andress' naked body is one of those things that make you believe in God. The other two women (especially the one who plays the maid) have great bodies as well. Then why is the higher grade that I can give to a film with such quality and quantity of nudity only 3 out of 10? Because, to get to Ursula's unbelievable body, we have to sit through a movie that is otherwise unfunny and boring (keep in mind that I watched the full 101-minute version, not the 78-minute American one which probably cuts out a lot of the extraneous material). In typical Italian-comedy tradition, most of the characters are exaggerated caricatures (the army freak, the "latin lover", the constant drunk, the naive maid) that are not funny, simply overacted. Final word: watch this, but keep your finger on the fast-forward button, you're gonna need it. (*)

    Teenage Late Night Cinema: The Sensuous Nurse.

    The Sensuous Nurse (1975) was a Italian sexual comedy that starred the one time Bond girl Ursula Andress. Man was she hot in this movie.. She was stacked and built like a *@#% brick house. Ursula was smoking hot in this movie. I have never seen a nurse's outfit that filled out before.

    Ms. Andress stars as a nurse who is hired to take care of a rich elderly man. Even one in the house seems to be knocking the boots. One night, the nurse decides to take the grandson's temperature and give some needed T.L.C. to her ancient client. The old man takes to his nurse and this angers the rest of the family. What kind of job did the family hire her out to do? Will the geezer fall for her car giver? How can she deal with the octogenarian crone and the rest of the family? To find out you need to find a copy of the SENSUOUS NURSE!! Italian but badly dubbed into English.

    Highly recommended.

    One scene

    Slogged through finding and reviewing this for one scene. Italian sex comedy says it all. Saw it on Cinemax, or equivalent, in the 80's and remember Jack Palance stroking the pubic hair of a naked young gal stretched across his lap. And Bond villains stroke cats!?! Bond gals at the height of their powers, what's not to like. The gal on Jack's lap deserves mention somewhere, and whoever conceived that setting.

    What a nurse

    I reckon the nurse fantasy is quite common. The sexy and good looking woman that will help you get better. Well there is a sort of a twist here, because the nurse is not hired so the patient gets better. There are ulterior motives at play here. All in the name of comedy.

    A lot of nudity (not just from Ursual Andress) and I guess scenes that can be considered comedy. The movie fails to make everyone smile throughout though. And if you consider todays sensibilities and maybe some even sterner from the viewer (if that would describe you best) ... this may lose before it even starts. Especially one scene comes to mind, where a woman gets cornered and ... convinced to do something she seems not to want to do at first ... not an easy watch for sure or at least not that scene.

    Other than that, there are some interesting scenes (Ursula in the pool, Ursula undressing and so forth). There could have been more with a tighter script, but I reckon it all was meant to be ... together.

    Good production, script and acting

    Good production, plot, directing and acting. A superb vehicle for Ursula Andress, hired to induce a wealthy patriarch's corony by overdosing him with cleavage. She winds up falling in love with him. Black humor handled well. Not campy or dated. Ironic ending.
