The Virgin Soldiers Blu-Ray

This impressive film adaptation of Leslie Thomas's best-selling scandalous novel is set in Singapore in the early 1950s and tells the story of a group of naive, young British armyrecruits stationed in Malaya who have no experience of either love or war. The film is both loving and moving in its portrayal of young men in wartime and has a wonderful cast that includes Lynn Redgrave (Georgy Girl, The National Health), Hywel Bennett (The Family Way, Twisted Nerve), and Nigel Davenport (The Third Secret, The Mind of Mr. Soames), along with early appearances by Christopher Timothy, Wayne Sleep, James Cosmo, and a young David Bowie. The Virgin Soldiers is a genuine and heartfelt film, an insightful and hugely underrated British comedy drama.
