Programmer's Pick
Psych ward drama meets 1970s sex comedy in this Jonathan Kaplan-directed romp, where nurse uniforms are more suggestive than sanitary and the staff’s extracurriculars are as wild as their patients. If you like your exploitation with a side of social issues and a wardrobe of yellow bikinis, you’re on call.
