Directed and Photographed by: Ken Hughes

Synopsis: Early somewhat arty documentary effort by director Ken Hughes, better known for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, focuses on London’s Soho district, with particular emphasis on some heavy duty drinking parties, which was one way of escaping the pressures of the Second World War.

Reality Cats: A pretty black cat with a collar, evidently someone’s pet, approaches the camera.

Another black cat, possibly a street cat, is seen later.

Further footage of the tiny black cat from the first shot shows the kitty nosing around some newspaper on the street.

Final Mewsings: The ratio of black cats in Soho must have been pretty high.
