Storyline
A grand depiction of the ascent and decline of British nudie theater magnate Paul Raymond, this epic narrative unfolds as a symbol of Soho’s evolution, embodying the realms of sex and sophistication from the vibrant 60s to the 80s. Almost solely responsible for reshaping the cultural landscape of the UK, Raymond built an empire comprising topless theaters and soft-core magazines that ultimately propelled him to become the wealthiest individual in the country.

“The purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes.”
