The Virgin Soldiers - Limited Edition [Blu-ray]

Set in Singapore in the early 1950s, this impressive adaptation of Leslie Thomas' best-selling, scandalous novel centres on a group of naïve, young British Army recruits billeted to Malaya who have no experience of either love or war.Both affectionate and affecting in its look at young men in wartime, the film has a wonderful cast which 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 from Christopher Timothy, Wayne Sleep, James Cosmo and a young David Bowie. Genuine and heartfelt, The Virgin Soldiers is an insightful and hugely underrated British comic drama.INDICATOR LIMITED BLU-RAY EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES:High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioThe Virgin Actors (2019, 29 mins): Roy Holder and Christopher Timothy recall their experiences on locationSome Confidence (2019, 8 mins): writer Ian La Frenais discusses his contributions to
