What's Up Nurse!

1978 ★ 4.3
as Neighbour

Arriving on a stretcher, intimately attached to a naked young lady, is not the best way for a new doctor to report for his first hospital duty – especially when she’s the daughter of the new boss! But Sweeney is the archetypal, accident prone innocent whose problems almost always seem to involve nubile, mostly naked young women. And Olivia, poor girl, can only achieve sexual satisfaction in moving vehicles.
