Complete Record: VD scare film for military. Soldier gets VD, misses his furlough. an Official Training Film of the U.S. Army, chronicles the sorry fate of Corporal John Green who, after waiting six months for a furlough, meets nice girl Ann at a train station and, apparently, does her in a park. Five days later, the Corporal’s caught a fine dose and is pissing pus. As Captain Stevens (PAUL KELLY of Curfew Breakers) puts it, the Army’s problem is to keep its men from playing around with the so-called ‘nice girls’. His furlough canceled, the Corporal’s treatment includes lectures on VD complete with the obligatory scenes of sore-covered penises, as well as very disturbing footage of a babbling man whose brain has been ravaged by syphilis until the Corporal’s well enough to be shipped overseas where he probably got shot.
