Wiki.

The Cherry Picker (also known as The Quiet Life), is a 1972 British drama film directed by Peter Curran and starring Lulu, Bob Sherman, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Spike Milligan, Patrick Cargill, Jack Hulbert, Fiona Curzon, Terry-Thomas and Robert Hutton. The screenplay was by Curran based on the 1968 novel Pick Up Sticks by Mickey Phillips.

As of August 2014, the film was missing from the BFI National Archive; although inferior quality copies are still in circulation, including YouTube, it is listed as one of the British Film Institute's "75 Most Wanted" lost films due to the loss of the original print.
