The sensational follow-up to London in the Raw sets out to reflect society's decay through a sideshow spectacle of 1960s London depravity - and manages to outdo its predecessor. Here, we confront mods, rockers and beatniks at the Ace Cafe, cut some rug with obscure beat band The Zephyrs, witness a seedy Jack the Ripper re-enactment, smirk at flabby men in the sauna and goggle at sordid wife-swapping parties as we discover a pre-permissive Britain still trying to move on from the post-war depression of the 1950s.

The provocative and misleading title of this uneven documentary of London is a tease to entice viewers. Interviews with beatniks, mods, and rockers give some insight into the style and social life of the swinging city. A baby is born, youths shop for the latest fashions, and scenes from a Turkish bath, a tattoo parlour, parties, and the making of a television commercial are haphazardly included. Liverpool singing star Billy J. Kramer makes a brief appearance in this forgettable feature hampered by editing problems. David Gell is the talkative narrator. Actors David Gell, Bobby Chandler, Terry Dene, Vickie Gray, MacDonald Hobley, Beatrice Kotter, Billy J. Kramer & Ray Martine Director Arnold L. Miller Certificate 15 years and over Year 1967 Languages English Additional Languages French Duration 1 hour and 25 minutes (approx)
Sequel to director Arnold L. Miller's cult documentary 'London in the Raw' (1964). Again exploring the more explicit side of London life after dark, this time the film centres around events at the Ace Cafe and features interviews with mods, rockers, strippers and beatniks, giving another eye-opening account of life in the capital during the swinging '60s.
