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....

"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.
