Candy Stripe Nurses | Year: 1974 Classification: Adult Entertainment Rated R Directed: - Alan Holleb Actually not that bad. Let's see if I got the plot to "Candy Stripe Nurses" correct. I believe it went something like this: topless woman, topless woman, naked woman, topless woman, naked woman, topless woman, 2(!!) topless women. There was also a subplot about one of the nurses trying to help a patient beat a charge of armed robbery. In all seriousness, I rather enjoyed parts of this movie. I know this is going to be hard to believe, but the acting by the women playing the nurses was wonderful. Usually the women in these types of movies simply have to speak English and look good without their clothes on. (Although sometimes the speaking English part isn't necessary.) Every one of the actresses in "Candy Stripe Nurses" did an admirable job and all of their characters were sympathetic ones. That really helped to partially overcome the cheesy plot. I've seen A LOT worse '70s movies similar to this one. Kinda fun little flick...but nothing that'll blow you away. At least the music was worthwhile. There's one reason and one reason only that I bring CANDY STRIPE NURSES to your attention -- its connection to another movie that's both more famous and rather infamous. The opening credits for NURSES attribute the music to the duo of Thompson and Tabor. It turns out that Tabor is none other than Eron Tabor, the actor who played one of the four rapists (Johnny, the gas station guy) in I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. (My source is the commentary on the Millennium Edition DVD of GRAVE.) Unfortunately, there's no way to tell how much of the music was composed by Mr. Tabor. Also unfortunately -- but not surprisingly -- there was no attempt to enhance the soundtrack for the DVD release, and there's significant wow in the music throughout. As far as the movie itself goes, it's an attempt to graft serious drama onto silly sex comedy, and in my opinion, the graft didn't take. Lame That's the best way to explain this movie. Silly plot, bad acting, and a cheap way to sell sex. I mean, if you're going to sell sex, at least deliver. One of the worst movies in it's genre.
