Paul Raymond was one of Britain’s richest men, building a fortune on his early recognition of the indisputable fact that sex sells.
It was 1958 when he opened Raymond’s Revue Bar in London’s Soho district, operating it as a private club to bypass rules on public displays of nudity. His life story -- one of success, excess and tragedy -- is the subject of “The Look of Love,” an entertaining film biography by Michael Winterbottom showing in the Berlinale Special section of the Berlin Film Festival.
