Any film featuring Hollywood 'A' lister David Milbern is usually a guarantee of 'Box Office Gold' and this magnificent, malevolent, medical melodrama is no exception.
Having established himself as an actor of huge stature in blockbusters such as 'Past Obsessions', Mr Milbern cements his reputation as a thespian of outstanding talent, ranking him alongside behomeths of the acting world such as Eastwood, Pacino and Stallone.
That it took me several minutes to realise that he was playing the part of silver-tongued slimeball John Dasseau, is testament to the fact that he is an actor who can play any role with consummate ease. It was criminal that the director cut short his contribution in this celluloid classic by arranging for him to suffer a fatal road accident shortly after he was smooth talking his way into the arms of the wanton Nurse of the title.
The other actors in this thoroughly enjoyable thriller play their part too and the casting director deserves great credit for assembling a group of thespians who are at the top of their game.
Especial mention must be made of Barbara Allyne Bennet. Her role is far too brief to showcase her undoubted talents and one can only hope that she is given the chance to remedy the situation in future similar blockbusting movies.
Overall, this magical medically-based movie should serve as a warning to all wealthy, silver-tongued, smooth-talking, bearded slime balls to avoid alcoholic drinks offered by scantily-clad, would-be nurses before driving at high speed along cliff-side roads, and for all attractive young women to think twice before pretending to be nurses, lest they find themselves at the wrong end of a powerful pistol wielded by jealous wives.
A throughly enjoyable romp!
