Naughty Nurse (1969)
8/10
Sizzling short by Paul Bartel
23 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A nurse (a sultry portrayal by the stunning Valorie Armstrong) and a doctor (hunky Ron Grathwohl) sneak off on their lunch hour for a kinky carnal encounter at a seedy hotel room. They are interrupted by a police officer (a lively performance by Christopher St. John) with a deviant secret of his own.

This early short from the always offbeat Paul Bartel serves as a neat precursor of the wickedly warped humor and perverse sexuality that was further explored in Bartel's racy debut full-length theatrical feature "Private Parts": The mild S&M, hot leather outfits complete with metal studs, and some seriously kooky stuff involving robber bands are sure to both excite and satisfy fetishists with unusual lascivious tastes. Alix Ellis contributes a hilarious turn as ditsy nurse Dorothy while Robert Downey Sr. makes a fleeting appearance as a desk clerk. Kudos are also in order for Jon Oonk's gorgeously crisp black and white cinematography. And the punch line at the very end is simply priceless!
