Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SnoopyStyle 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.

Woodyanders 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!

rwint 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.

TelevisionJunkie This 8 minute short film, which was made as a companion to play with Paul Bartel's less-than-feature-length "The Secret Cinema," is a definite curio. The very thin plot revolves around a nurse and doctor, who meet in a cheap hotel and proceed to dress in leather-studded undergarments and rubber bands... While this isn't a XXX flick, as the porno-esque title would suggest, it creates an erotic atmosphere - an atmosphere that's appropriate of the Corman films Bartel went on to do, but not appropriate as a companion to "The Secret Cinema." It would've played much better with "Death Race 2000" or perhaps "Eating Raoul." This film wasn't bad, nor was it fantastic, just a curio with a strange ending....
