The Look of Love: The Life and Times of Paul Raymond, Soho's King of Clubs Kindle Edition

For almost forty years, Paul Raymond was one Britain's most scandalous celebrities. Best known as the owner of the world famous Raymond Revuebar, he was a successful theatre impresario, property magnate and porn baron.

With his pencil moustache, gold jewellery and taste for showgirls, Raymond was both the brash personification of nouveau riche vulgarity and exemplar of the entrepreneurial spirit that enabled a poor boy from Liverpool to become Britain's richest man.

'Like 24 Hour Party People, we want to capture the life of an extraordinary man living in extraordinary times' Steve Coogan

5.0 out of 5 stars A convincing biographical drama

Good quality DVD - played well & clear on my computer.

The principle characters and the scripts were all very convincing, and the focus of the biography interesting, hence it gave my curiosity about Paul Raymond a good run for the money.

The Soho girls looked really lovely.

A biographical drama to treasure.

I really enjoyed this book. It had plenty of atmosphere, was well written, giving a very good feeling of what London clubland was like, and the characters who were around at the time. I would certainly recommend it.
