THE VIRGIN SOLDIERS (1969)

JOHN DEXTER

Plot

The Virgin Soldiers is a bawdy look at life in Britain's conscript army of the 50s. Private Brigg (Hywel Bennett), for example, when he's not filling in forms or engaging the Malaysian bandits, is out on manoeuvres with a Chinese dance-hall girl named Juicy Lucy, who is supposed to be a lady of easy virtue but, to Brigg's delight, is a lady of no virtue at all. Brigg also sets out on that most dangerous of all military operations - an affair with the Sergeant Major's daughter (Lynn Redgrave).
