Agent Johnnie discovers Herbert Rudge playing bongo drums in a coffee bar in Soho and signs him to a management contract. Renamed 'Bongo' Herbert and fitted out with a loud, rhythmic song called 'Expresso Party', the boy quickly becomes a fashionable success.

Expresso Bongo on Screen

Cliff Richard, Expresso Bongo percolates with an intoxicating brew of coffee shops, delicatessens, penny arcades, and strip joints.

The movie begins with a tracking shot that pulls us into the Soho night scene, swooping across the street, dodging cars, following pedestrians, and allowing us to eavesdrop on their conversations.
