Rick was never a very nice man, all his life he has been prone to beating people up with very little provocation. Somehow he becomes a member of the police's elite special forces unit. When he beats up a hippie at a demonstration rather than simply keeping order as he is charged to do, his fellow officers back up his story rather than suffer the humiliation of having this "bad apple" in their ranks be exposed, bringing disgrace on them all. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A grim British reform school for girls provides the backdrop for this gritty drama that focuses on two young inmates. One is hoping to find security in the prison while the other is desperate to be reunited with her baby. While in the prison, they must cope with many different women, but in the end learn to survive and how to fight the system. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The returning soldier is amnesia victim Alan Bates, who remembers nothing of his life before suffering shell-shock--not even his long-term marriage to snooty Julie Christie. Spinsterish Ann-Margret, who has long harbored a fondness for Bates, hopes to take advantage of his memory loss. But both Christie and Ann-Margret are challenged by a third woman, Bates' childhood sweetheart Glenda Jackson. Poor Bates deals with all of this by not dealing with it. A fairly faithful rendition of the Rebecca West novel on which it is based, Return of the Soldier ambles along at its own languid pace to a inconclusive conclusion. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Set in 1962 Wales, Experience Preferred...But Not Essential is the story of a hotel waitress named Annie (Elizabeth Edmonds). In the words of the famous song, Annie's been looking for love in all the wrong places. This time around, she hopes to find lasting happiness in the arms of the hotel cook. Screenwriter June Roberts' "ear" for period dialogue and attitudes is unerring; indeed, it is difficult to believe that the film was actually made 20 years after the on-screen events take place. Part of a series of films about young people produced for British television, Experience Preferred...But Not Essential has gained its largest American following thanks to Public TV. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
