“A surprisingly sensitive study... shows a heart of genuine talent.”
—Dave Kehr
The Summer of Love transformed Californian youth culture so thoroughly that by 1970, even nursing school was a pretty wild ride. In this exploitation film about four nursing-school roommates disoriented by dating in the age of free love, romance leads each of them down wildly different paths: an abortion, a bad trip, military service, and even an armed political struggle in Mexico. Director Stephanie Rothman (one of the only female directors who made films for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures) set off a craze for "sexy nurse" films with this classic.
