Oct 6th  
Rattle of a Simple Man*  
(GB 1964)                           

A Manchester football fan returning from the Cup final is dared on a bet to spend the night with a classy looking prostitute, and the two learn some things about each other.
An endearing but essentially one theme play about a tart with a heart educating a simpleton is stretched out to feature length without really going anywhere, but with an interesting array of talents for the time, with just occasional hints of darker tones in progressively permissive 1960s.

Producer: William Gell
Director: Muriel Box.
Starring: Harry H. Corbett, Diane Cilento, Michael Medwin, Brian Wilde, Carole Gray, Thora Hird.
