London Blues
by Anthony Frewin
by Anthony Frewin
ABOUT THE BOOK
The chance discovery of a 30 year old blue movie leads back to the film's maker, Tim Purdom, and the London of the late fifties and early sixties. Purdom was a pioneer of the B&W British porno film and a figure on the periphery of the Profumo sex scandal. He directed eight films...but who was directing him and what was their hidden agenda? And where is Tim now?
London Blues explicitly and unremittingly details the hidden world of Soho vice and London's demi-monde at the time when the grey 1950s were giving way to the 'swingin' sixties'. It is a dramatic and compelling venture into the secret history of our time - a provocative and totally original novel.
