'The Virgin Soldiers' concerns a collection of new recruits (in national service) and their exploits in a far-off, exotic Singapore. Deals with the endless boredom, fear of fighting an enemy they had no knowledge or concept of (they were never meant to have seen any action) and the endless pursuit of sexual conquests. Sterling cast of Lynn Redgrave, Hywel Bennett and Nigel Davenport. Based on the highly successful novel of the same name.
