Two friends progress from college to middle-age, constantly in a state of sexual competition, comparing notes, methods and ideologies. "Carnal Knowledge" is a bitter-sweet comedy about sex, morality and, perhaps, even love. As interesting for the attitudes of the time as for the unfolding story itself. find out more...

A high school musical which ripped off everything it could from the 1950s. At the time it was slated, but, in retrospect, it started a trend and is nowhere near as bad as some of the movies which followed it. In fact, one could go as far as to say it's now a bit of a classic... find out more...

In "Will Any Gentleman" a ridiculously young looking George Cole finds his pulling power knows no bounds after a hypnotist's show. Fabulous!

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). find out more...
