Synopsis:

Comedy icon Harry H. Corbett stars opposite Diane Cilento in Charles Dyer's daring early-sixties drama of faltering romance between a shy northern football fan and a worldly London prostitute. Presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, Rattle of a Simple Man is both a touching romantic comedy and a finely observed study of human relationships directed by Oscar winner Muriel Box. Percy Winthram is a naive young man who still lives at home with his mum. In London for the Cup Final with his friends, he finds himself in a Soho strip club, where he meets blonde hostess Cyrenne. Accepting a bet from friend Ginger, he accompanies Cyrenne back to her flat, and a boast-worthy night of lust seems to be on the cards; however, drained of beer and bravado, Percy's innocence and vulnerability become all too evident ...

When a group of northern soccer fans are down in London for the Cup Final one of their number winds up with a lady of the night. As they talk, the unsophisticated and naive lad starts to believe he has found true love.

Rattle of a Simple Man is a 1964 British comedy film directed by Muriel Box and starring Diane Cilento, Harry H. Corbett and Michael Medwin. After travelling down from Manchester to watch the FA Cup final, a naive young man becomes involved with a prostitute.
