Six Little Jungle Boys (1945)

  • Description

    The BFI DVD 'The Joy of Sex Education' is now available to buy - http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/info_11484.html The vibrant animation of Halas and Batchelor is the vehicle for a rather unsavoury message from the War Office aimed at troops in the Far East. The antics of six sprightly soldiers stationed in the jungle illustrate with humour and clarity the pitfalls of poor personal hygiene. One collapses with dysentery after drinking unfiltered pond water, whilst another is tempted by an attractive woman, only to end up in hospital with venereal disease. The last soldier standing is left to take on the Japanese single-handedly, which he pulls off with great aplomb, leading to a medal for valour. (Catherine McGahan) All titles on the BFI Films channel are preserved in the vast collections of the BFI National Archive.
