After the untimely death of his daughter| Paul Raymond reflects on his life. Rising from a mind-reading act| Raymond grew to have a fabulously successful career as
an erotica magnate that would make him the richest man in Britain. However| for all his material success| Paul's appetites mess up his personal life| such as
alienating his wife with his philandering. Furthermore| even as he challenged his society's sexual mores| Paul's relationship with his daughter proves troublingly
problematic as she came of age. While trying to be the best father he could| Paul gradually comes to realize that his proclivities have impoverished him in ways that
mere money cannot address.
While it may not add up to the definitive Paul Raymond biopic -- or take full advantage of Steve Coogan's many gifts -- The Look of Love still proves an entertainingly old-fashioned look at the Swinging London of the 1960s.
