Nus de Paris was a show produced by Paul Raymond in the UK. This royal flash photo is from the cancan segment of the show. The accompanying original description reads,
"Using the Lord Chamberlain's freedom to have stationary artistic nudes, to the full, Raymond puts on shows with snappy titles, with snappy girls and snappy acts. This Can-Can is from Nus de Paris."
Snappy indeed.

The Wikipedia article includes this blurb indicating a film about him is to be released today:
"A film about the life of Paul Raymond, directed by Michael Winterbottom and due for release on 26th April 2013, is currently in production, with Steve Coogan playing Raymond and Anna Friel playing Raymond's wife Jean. In addition to a cast of well-known UK talent, a small number of current Paul Raymond Publications' employees and editors appear as extras or in pseudo-cameos. The film's working title, The King of Soho, has been trademarked by one of Raymond's sons, for the title of his own biopic of the late mogul, and the producers of the first film decided to change their title.[20] Winterbottom's film is now entitled The Look of Love."
