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.
