I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I think that there should be a desperate category for films produced by E J Fancey.They are well below the level of B pictures of the period.The question is how did he get away with it so long.Didn't the exhibitors realise that they were getting yesterday's leftovers.The screenplay such as it is is totally ridiculous.The story is about trying to put on a concert to raise money to save a restaurant closing.Judging by the goings on in the restaurant the customers would be better off if it closed.There are a lot of comedy routines thrown in for no better reason than to pad up the film,in between the musical numbers,also used to pad out the film.

SOHO CONSPIRACY sounds on paper like one of those interesting little British crime thrillers of the 1950s but the reality is very different. In fact, it's one of many cheapies put out by E.J. Fancey, a film which liberally includes stock footage from MAD ABOUT THE OPERA, a 1948 movie. All of the musical scenes are borrowed from that movie, and they're the most entertaining part of this.The rest is something of a mixed bag. There's a great deal of slapstick comedy both at the outset and most notably at the climax, along with a muddled plot involving attempts to put on a charity concert being thwarted by a ruthless property developer. The cast are nothing to write home about, and the story is frankly below par, barely holding the viewer's interest throughout.
