A Hornsey Library Silent Cinema screening of 'Rattle of a Simple Man' (1964) - PG. Screened as part of a series of classic features. The series runs throughout January 2024.

'Rattle of a Simple Man 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, the film is imbued with endearing and heartwarming humour and some stark home truths.'

Headphones are available to borrow at the library Information Desk.
