Rattle Of A Simple Man (1964) directed by Muriel Box follows Percy Winthram (Harry H. Corbett), a shy, naïve 39-year-old who is in London with his friends for the Cup Final. When he meets beautiful hostess Cyrenne (Diane Cilento) in a Soho strip club and accepts a bet, a night of lust seems to be on the cards, but back at her apartment Percy's innocence and vulnerability become all too evident.

A bittersweet study of two characters from very different walks of life, Rattle Of A Simple Man is imbued with endearing and heart-warming humour and some stark home truths.

Rattle Of A Simple Man is released on DVD and Blu-ray 14th August 2023 from StudioCanal as part of their Vintage Classics collection.
