The Look of Love is a biographical drama film that tells the captivating story of Paul Raymond, an influential and controversial British entrepreneur. Set in the 1960s to the 1980s, the movie takes viewers on a journey through Raymond's rise to become Britain's richest man.

Raymond, played by Steve Coogan, starts his career as a mindreader but quickly discovers that there is greater profit to be found in the show business industry. He builds an empire by introducing the concept of the gentlemen's club and becomes a household name thanks to his infamous adult magazine Men Only.

However, with success comes personal and moral complexities. Raymond's relationships with the women in his life, including his wife Jean (played by Anna Friel) and mistress Fiona Richmond (played by Tamsin Egerton), become increasingly entangled and strained.
