It Happened in Soho is a 1948 British black and white low-budget B film[1] directed by Frank Chisnell and starring Richard Murdoch and Henry Oscar.
Bill meets country girl Susan Marsh, and shows her Soho by night, taking her to a café and introducing her to Julie, and artist Paul Sayers.
In contemporary reviews Kine Weekly said "Its principal characters are a light-hearted and light-headed crime reporter, a girl just up from the country, a wise old 'cop' and an elusive strangler, but their movements are so clumsy that few laughs and less thrills spring from the exchanges.
The idea of staging a thriller in Soho is good, but the authentic settings are wasted on a transparent 'who dunnit' story,";[3] Monthly Film Bulletin wrote "Despite attempts to create atmosphere, this is an amateurish production which makes it difficult to believe that the events shown could have happened anywhere.
Richard Murdoch struggles unsuccessfully with the stilted dialogue and gets little support worth mentioning from the rest of the cast.
