Programmer's Pick

Where else can you find Ursula Andress as the world’s most dangerous nurse, a family more interested in inheritance than healing, and a plot that blends farce with full-frontal Italian sex appeal? The Sensuous Nurse serves up classic 1970s sexploitation with a side of vineyard intrigue.

Overview

In the rolling hills of Italy, aging widower Leonida Bottacin owns a thriving winery, but his recent heart attack leaves him in a coma and his greedy relatives circling like vultures. As his extended family camps out at his villa, tensions bubble over the future of the estate—especially since nephew Benito is eager to sell the business to American interests, but can’t close the deal while Leonida is alive. The family’s hopes rest on the arrival of Anna, a striking home care nurse whose presence is intended to provoke a second, fatal heart attack. But Anna’s professionalism throws a wrench in their plans, setting the stage for a steamy and farcical battle of wits and desires.
