Despite Soho's rich cultural history, there remains an absence of
work on the depiction of the popular neighbourhood in film. Soho on
Screen provides one of the first studies of Soho within postwar
British cinema. Drawing upon historical, cultural and urban studies
of the area, this book explores twelve films and theatrically
released documentaries from a filmography of over one hundred Soho
set productions. While predominantly focusing on low-budget,
exploitation films which are exemplars of British and international
filmmaking, Young also offers new readings of star and director
biographies, from Laurence Harvey to Emeric Pressburger, and in so
doing enlivens discussion on filmmaking in a time and place of
intense social transformation, technological innovation and growing
permissiveness.
