A Mad World My Masters
London, Soho..1956. Where glamour rubs up against filth, and likes it, where the posh mix with musicians, whores and racheteers; where virginity is no city trade and where a dashingly impecunious bachelor in need of quick cash and a good time has to live on his wits.
Turning con-man to fool his rich uncle, he variously becomes a lord, a high class call girl, and - God forbid - a poor actor. But a beautiful Soho tart is also on the scam; a whore to some, a religious instructor to others, and a debutante in need of an eligible bachelor to yet more.
