The First Time (1969)

The subject of losing one's virginity is either handled very seriously in film and TV or played for laughs. This film tries to do both, and fails miserably. It's about three young guys barely out of their teens named Tommy, Mike and sensible Kenny (Wes Stern) who are on a trip together. They come across an upset twenty-something woman (Jacqueline Bisset) while in Canada. She needs to meet a man who is in the States, so they pass her off as an American to slip her over the border. The man she's trying to catch up with is a married guy whom she's been having an affair with. The young guys somehow get the bright idea that she may want to sleep with them and relieve them of their innocence.

Just a jumbled effort that probably played in drive-ins and B-movie theaters back in the day. Ms. Bisset went on to be an international star. She appeared in Bullit (1968) with Steve McQueen and in the movie Airport (1970). Wes Stern had a TV show called "Getting It Together" (1971).
