the world ten times over (1963)
aka Pussycat Alley.
"Where do you want to go?"
Billa (Sylvia Syms) and Ginnie (June Richie) are nightclub hostesses, in reality little more than prostitutes, working in the bright lights of London's West End. Billa dispairs of her life and how she cannot connect with her father (William Hartnell). Meanwhile the bubbly Ginnie is having an affair with a married businessman (Edward Judd). He wants to take the relationship further, but she has reservations about moving in his circles.
The wonderful cinematography serves to counterbalance this downbeat tale of the loveless lives these women find themselves in, and the best parts are inevitably the scenes that make use of the real life streets of Soho, soundtracked by Edwin Astley.
