Private Duty Nurses

1971

Private Duty Nurses is a 1971 American film written and directed by George Armitage. It is a sequel to The Student Nurses (1970) for New World Pictures. Roger Corman says they got the idea for the title after being sent a letter of complaint about the first film from the Private Duty Nurses Association.[1]

The film was followed by Night Call Nurses (1972).

Nurse Spring takes care of grumpy Vietnam veteran Domino who has a plate in his head and is in need of surgery from Dr. McClintock. Nurse Lynn fights against water pollution, and gets involved with Dewey.[2]

George Armitage had made a few films for Roger Corman, acting in Von Richtofen and Brown and writing and acting in Gas-s-s-s. He wanted to direct. Armitage:

Armitage was familiar with the Manhattan beach area having surfed there when he was younger.[4]

Armitage said the film had to feature sex but he put in a let-down sex scene at the beginning.

Armitage heard about the band Sky, went to see them perform at a high school, and cast them in the film.[3]

Armitage says Corman left him alone for most of the film.

Writing for Turner Classic Movies, critic Nathaniel Thompson described the film as "basically a less humorous rehash of The Student Nurses, with another curvy threesome navigating a sea of obstacles," that "little of [the plot] has a connection to the actual hospital," and "the lack of narrative direction ultimately grounds the entire enterprise."[5] In a review of the film in Slant, critic Budd Wilkins wrote that supporting actor Paul Hampton "takes this one by a country mile, his psychedelic slickster easily the funniest thing in the film other than Sky, house band at the watering hole Dewey patronizes, who get to perform their classic ode to oral fixation 'How’s That Treatin’ Your Mouth, Babe?'"[6] Critic Donald Guarisco wrote in AllMovie that the film "balanc[ed] exploitation staples like sex and action with a dash of social commentary and some artsy filmmaking techniques," and "it is well-crafted enough to make a modest, entertaining little time-killer for exploitation film fans."[7]
