In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Similarly to The Secret Cinema' (another short film from Paul Bartel), 'Naughty Nurse' can be appreciated on both the surface and more parodic levels. 'Nurse' still manages to be genuinely sexually provocative while also being very funny and intentionally odd to some degree. It is a unique and straightforward sex romp that clocks in at an appropriately brief eight minutes. Definitely worth watching, even if you aren't particularly into it (and I mean 'into it' in a non-sexual manner, by the way), as it is super short.

"Naughty Nurse" is an American English-language short film from 1969, so this one will soon have its 50th anniversary. The writer and director is Paul Bartel and he may in fact very well be the most known actor working on this project, even if he is the man in charge behind the camera this time. Maybe the name will not ring any bell, but he has been in well-known films. Anyway, back to this one here. It's a shame that the summary here on IMDb spoils this film a lot as you will know exactly what the cop is up to if you read it. But it was still a good watch in my opinion. Even if you don't find the female (or male) protagonist too desirable, you can enjoy it for the fun part and the revelation at the very end. I could have done without the clock, but I guess the intention was to show how tight their schedule is. Reminded me of the scene with Clooney's and Farmiga's character looking for a date in the hotel room in "Up in the Air". Anyway, this one here has RDJ's dad in it too in a minimal performance. Overall, this film succeeds exactly with what my country (Germany) has tried so many times in the 60s and 70s and almost always failed with: combining comedy and sexuality in an entertaining manner. I give it a thumbs-up. Not great, but worth seeing once.

Naughty Nurse is leaving the hospital at lunchtime. She rejects blood-soaked Nurse Dorothy's request for help. She dismisses Nasty Orderly's lunch offer. She takes the taxi to a seedy hotel. She has a nice light S&M encounter with Naughty Doctor. They get interrupted by Naughty Cop who has a couple of surprises of his own.This is Paul Bartel's second short. It's not quite as inventive as The Secret Cinema. It's a bit of shock considering the time period. The twist is fun but not revolutionary. I like Valorie Armstrong as the hard-nosed nurse. It's a solid short that shows the Bartel humor and his weird sensibilities.

5 out of 10 A women, who works as a nurse, uses her lunch hour to get together with a doctor in a seedy hotel room. Their they spend the time having weird, wild sex together. One day a policeman catches them in their act and this leads to ironic results. This is Bartel's second short following SECRET CINEMA and this one directly lead to his hiring of his first feature length film 1972's PRIVATE PARTS. It is easy to see why because like with ...PARTS it emphasizes a lot of kinkiness especially in relation to a non intercourse type of sex. This is surprisingly edgy in your face stuff and for it's time really seemed to push the envelope. Also like with his first feature it is technically well done, but could have been played out more. It's basically just a one joke movie with a twist ending that isn't too bad. There's also a deeper, darker side to it than just the sex angle. It seems to be a bit of a satire and just how detached people are from their jobs and how even educated professional people can be just as perverse as anyone else. It's bitingly funny to hear them discuss their next sexual adventure while performing on a live patient.
