Nurses

Paul Thomas hides behind the pseudonym "Cleo Edwards" for the mediocre Vivid film "Nurses". It's a script by David Stanley that lacks his usual creative twists and weirdness, clearly (and boringly) opting for the twisted subject matter to speak for itself without interesting embellishments.

So we get Bobby Vitale almost non-stop on screen, as a nutcase who craves nurses, stalks them, and ultimately gets sent to an experimental program run by an even nuttier Dr. Schnitzel, studying sexual dysfunction. Nurse Tang, ably played by Vivid superstar Kira Kener, keeps him overdosed with the experimental drug, and some horror elements stemming from his predicament are interspersed with the wall-to-wall sex. Despite the big part (no, not a pun dear reader) Vitale does nothing with it.

Kener as usual is a joy to behold, her exotic beauty and huge breasts just the ticket for a turn of the century Vivid fan. The only metaphor I could conjure up from this dull effort is that many a male out there in video land had a fetish for the Vivid Girls like Kener, having keepsakes of VHS videos (just like Vitale's character) tucked away alongside Vivid products molded from the contract girl's body parts. So Stanley's very dumb and predictable ending of Vitale still stuck in his fetish, but with Kener as his companion (Vivid fans are not so lucky) after the experimenting is over, rings true.

Other gals pop up, with some interracial sex tossed in and video clips from earlier releases featuring fleetingly T. T. Boy and Dee that I could readily recognize. The label's busy employee Shylar Cobi makes an uncredited appearance as a hospital orderly with a ponytail. NOTE: In a companion film by PT starring Kener titled "The Window" made at this time Cobi plays a male nurse with screen credit "E. Vanharder" which helpfully reveals his connection with that oft-used pseudonym.
