Anita Ekberg plays a nun who is addicted to skag, is losing her marbles, and may even be a murderer. What's not to like about this one?
Anita works in a hospital and she was doing fine up until she had surgery to remove a tumour for her brain. Even though she's been given the all-clear, Anita is convinced that she's still sick, is hooked on morphine, and hasn't got the cash to buy more, so when she's not freaking out in the operating room, she's pawning heirlooms and going out on the pool. She's also got a young nun who is always stripping and making eyes at her.
While going head-to-head with the top surgeon guy, Anita now finds that someone is murdering folk in the hospital, and there are plenty of suspects to choose from. Most evidence points to Anita, but as this is some sort of mash-up of giallo and nunsploitation, things aren't that straightforward. When I think about it, Anita kind of kill the first victim by losing her temper with her and smashing her falsies, but I don't know how long I would last in a hospital full of freaks before I'd be shooting horse and screaming.
Lou Castel plays a crippled inmate who might be able to solve the case. I'm not quite sure what Joe Dallesandro was doing there as he isn't really given much to do except look slightly concerned. Anita Ekberg on the other hand is off the wall crazy, shooting down her lesbian pal, having it off in a doorway with a complete stranger, having dreams where her heads is cut open while she's awake. I've not watched La Dolce Vita but didn't she piss in the Trevi fountain or something?
This film got its ass banned due to some of the violence contained within, especially the torturing of an inmate with pins and a scalpel. It looks great, has a great soundtrack, and a has a nasty streak a mile long.
I remember buying this one on DVD. My mate in work was particularly taken by the semi-nude picture of actress Paola Morra, so there you go.
