Rattle Of A Simple Man

Rattle Of A Simple Man (1964) 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, the film is imbued with endearing and heart-warming humour and some stark home truths.

First released: Monday 14th August 2023
