Singer

Synopsis:
We first meet Peter Singer in auschwitz, where he is already honing his skills as a racketeer. as a destitute refugee after the war he im emigrates to London, quickly setting himself up as a purveyor of prostitutes to the upper classes - and the inventor of slum landlordism, a new form of exploitation and extortion. Loosely based on the real life Peter Rachman - concentration camp survivor, property racketeer and murky presence in the Profumo affair - Singer is an epic fable of post-war Britain told with lurid and exhilarating energy.
