About Head Nurse
The staff at a New York City hospital engage in all kinds of kinky and kooky behavior: The madcap Dr. Millstein gets it on with various nurses, the unhinged Dr. Rogers not only molests a skull and violates test tubes, but also has sex with a corpse, and the nurses participate in lesbian couplings with each other.
Directed by Tim Davies, Head Nurse leans on a strong ensemble — Ruth Sims, Harry Reems, Rachel Brenda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1973.
