The Sentimental Bloke
Based on a popular book of verse, and directed by film pioneer Raymond Longford, this tale of a lovable hellraiser who finds his “ideal tart” and decides to go straight became a box office hit in 1919. The film's language and down-to-earth romantic sentiments retain their appeal nine decades later. With live piano accompaniment by Michael Mortilla.
