The Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine is a rather tame entry in the Nunsploitation genre starring Jenny Tamburi (Suspected Death of a Minor, Seven Notes in Black) and Paolo Malco ( House By the Cemetery, New York Ripper).
Lovely Lucita is sent to a convent by her father after he discovers she is in love with Esteban, an excommunicated heretic from the Albornos family. Lucita's family, the noble Fuentes, have been feuding with the common Albornos family for centuries and she has brought shame to the family name (a la Romeo & Juliet).
Esteban, now on the run after being wanted for heresy and a murder he didn't commit, is wounded by some soldiers and ends up at Lucita's convent where he is secretly taken in by a kindly male servant. Not long after he gets word that Lucita has been framed for the murder of her cellmate and is about to be tortured and executed, so he and her father join forces to prove her innocence and free her from the evil clutches of the Inquisition.
Overall I found The Sinful Nuns pretty dull; there's very little nudity, two ultra-tame sex sequences (one lesbo, one hetero) and a non-graphic whipping I mean this is meant to be a Nunsploitation flick - where's all the sleaze?! The only "saving grace" (kinda) of the film is in the last 15 minutes or so when the nuns are imprisoned in the convent and they turn into raving lunatics, removing their clothes (well, their top halves anyway), ranting about Satan as they to kill each other. Other than that, this flick is pretty much a snoozefest. And to think this was banned in Italy?!
