Standout Aspects

Costume

Nadia Cassini's increasingly absurd 'nurse' outfits defy medical logic

Acting

Lino Banfi's sweating, leering comic timing is aggressively committed

Best for:Solo: Late-night curiosity viewing with zero expectations·Friends: Irony-soaked group roast of 70s Italian exploitation·Background: Chaos you can half-watch while doing literally anything else
Heads up:Sexual Content: Frequent nudity and leering camera work typical of Italian sex comedies·Disturbing: Mental illness played strictly for crude slapstick laughs
