概要

 A surpisingly large number of films have been set in Soho - that one square mile which has, for decades, been the beating heart of bohemian, cosmopolitan London. In each episode of Soho Bites, we talk to a special guest about a different Soho film and accompany it with a shorter, thematically linked item which may or may not be film related. Written, produced & presented by Dominic Delargy Based on an original idea by Dr Jingan Young https://bsky.app/profile/sohobites.bsky.social https://sohobitespodcast.com/donate https://sohobitespodcast.com/reviewDominic Delargy 2019-26 アート 社会科学

  • Soho Bites 51: King of the Underworld (1952)

    Soho Bites 51: King of the Underworld (1952)
    2026/04/14
    Not a Humphry Bogart film.King of the Underworld (1952) stars Tod Slaughter as Terence Reilly - a master criminal who is always one step ahead of his arch nemesis, Inspector Morley, played by Patrick Barr. The film should not be confused with King of the Underworld (1939) which stars Humphry Bogart and is a very different film all together.It was not originally made as a film and is actually three episodes of a low budget TV show called Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, Investigates, clumsily stitched together.To talk about King of the Underworld, we’re joined by Vic Pratt from the BFI, a man who loves a bit of Slaughter and has a tenuous family connection to him.Aidan McManus joins us in the first half of the show to talk about a different, real life king of the underworld, Bernie Silver.Follow Vic on Blue Sky and read some of his work at the BFI website.Next time you're in Foyles, pick up his book (available at other places too, obvs)Listen to Aidan on Portobello Radio and book for one of his walking tours of Soho HERE. He also does a tour about David Bowie and he came on episode 29 to talk about him.Watch King of the Underworld at TPTV Encore and if that's simply not enough Tod, pick up this box set from Indicator films.Thank you for listening.Follow us on Blue Sky (our Xwitter account is no more)We're now on YouTubeEmail us at sohobitespodcast@gmail.comWe'd love it if you left us a lovely REVIEW.And if you'd like to help support the show we'd be very grateful.Check out our spin-off series Mural MorselsIn fact, see all relevant links HERE

  • Soho Bites 50: Bartleby (1970)

    Soho Bites 50: Bartleby (1970)
    2026/03/06
    I would prefer not to.Based on “Bartleby the Scrivener - A Story of Wall Street”, a short story by Herman Melville, Bartleby (1970) is the story of a young man at odds with the world in which he finds himself. He starts work as an audit clerk at an accountancy firm but within a few days begins to refuse to do any work, saying merely that he “would prefer not to”.Starring John McEnery in the title role and Paul Scofield as his extremely patient boss, the film is the only feature to be directed by Anthony Friedman.Stephen Armstrong, journalist at The Observer and freelance film critic joins us to talk about the film.In popular culture, Bartleby has become a symbol of passive resistance to corporate bureaucracy. Among many other things, Bartleby’s famous line “I would prefer not to” has become a:Column in the economistSeveral T-shirtsA slogan used at Occupy Wall St and other protestsSocksThe official motto of philosopher Slavoj Žižek!In Herman Melville’s original story, he mentions the names of two real life people - John C Colt & Samuel Adams. Little heard of today, they would have been extremely famous at the time due to a notorious murder which gripped the United States. We tell the story of this case in the first half.Read or listen to Stephen Armstrong’s work at the Observer and find his books here. Stephen also produces an extremely Soho podcast called Strippers in the Attic.The director of Bartleby, Anthony Freidman, did not direct any other feature films and went back to academia.See the Bartleby locations thanks to our friends at ReelStreets.Buy the Blu-ray from Indicator Films.The New York Sun published this special edition all about the John C Colt / Samuel Adams case in January 1842.Most of the information about the Colt / Adams case came from two books by Andie Tucher and Harold Schechter.The Bartleby sound track, composed by Roger Webb, was released by Trunk Records on vinyl. It’s also available on Spotify.Troy Taylor provided the voice of John C Colt.

  • Soho Bites 49: Noose (1948)

    Soho Bites 49: Noose (1948)
    2026/02/06
    Spiv Noir.According to the billing, the stars of 1948's Noose (known as The Silk Noose in the US) are Carole Landis, Joseph Calleia & Derek Farr, but the real star of the film is Nigel Patrick who is cast against type as Bar Gorman, a sharply dressed, fast talking spiv.Set firmly in Soho, it tells the story of how the police, the press & a group of normal citizens, try to loosen the choke-hold of gangsters on the city. The film is one of a group of films known as "the spiv cycle".The director, Edmond T. Gréville, also directed Beat Girl which is straight from the fridge daddio.Dr Josephine Botting, curator at the BFI, joins us to talk about Noose, Edmond T. Gréville and the spiv cycle.Interesting article about the spiv cycle of films.In the first half of the show we were joined by the mighty Steve Hayes to talk about the life and death of Carole Landis.Steve has a brilliant YouTube channel, Tired Old Queen at the Movies and, rather like Morgan Freeman, George Burns and John Huston, he once played God in a movie.In our interview, Steve mentioned those two famously bitchy and competitive Hollywood gossip columnists, Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons.Here's the listing for the 1947 stage version of Noose on the Theatricalia website and also a copy of the programme.We're fans of vintage lobby cards on Soho Bites - here's a couple of colourised ones for Noose.Friend of the show, Rob Baker, wrote an article about British post-war gangster films on his Flashbak website.A News Chronicle article from September 13th, 1945 by Bill Naughton - "Meet the Spiv".There's plenty of stuff online about Carole Landis and her suicide, most of which is pretty salacious and muck-rakey. This one is too, but written slightly better than the rest.A Carole Landis tribute site.Carole did not appreciate being called The Ping Girl.Booking for the monthly Projecting the Archive at the BFI is highly recommended.At the time of writing this, the Museum of Soho website is under redevelopment - check back soon. In the meantime you can follow their Instagram.Thank you for listening.Follow us on Blue Sky (our Xwitter account is no more)We're now on YouTubeEmail us at sohobitespodcast@gmail.comWe'd love it if you left us a lovely REVIEW.And if you'd like to help support the show we'd be very grateful.Check out our spin-off series Mural MorselsIn fact, see all relevant links HERE
