During One Night
“This Second World War drama from Sidney J Furie was bold in its day for exploring the then taboo topics of virginity and impotence. Don Borisenko plays a USAF pilot whose buddy is castrated during a mission, leading him to go AWOL in a attempt to lose his virginity. Reduced to impotence through trauma, he eventually finds hope in his quest in the form of a young Susan Hampshire, but not before a brutal encounter with the military police.” Radio Times

Unfortunately Bill Shine (a reporter) is sent to tail him,but when Ningle suddenly dissappears Shine calls the police. They find Ningle’s clothes and assume he’s been killed.
