Biloxi Blues is a semi-autobiographical Tony Award-winning stage play written by Neil Simon that was also released as a major motion picture. The second chapter in what is known as Simon's "Eugene Trilogy" (the first being Brighton Beach Memoirs and the third being Broadway Bound), the story centers around Eugene Morris Jerome, a 20-year-old "Brooklynite" who enlists in the United States Army during World War II. Jerome is sent to Biloxi, Mississippi for basic training, during which time he learns to cope with fellow soldiers of all walks of life, falls in love, loses his virginity in less than ideal circumstances, and more, all while having to cope with an eccentric drill sergeant.
