The Heart of a Man is a 1959 British drama film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Frankie Vaughan, Anne Heywood and Tony Britton.

But apparently not, for she remains content to cling to the outworn conventions; moreover she has chosen a script whose witlessness and banality make it almost a parody of the worst British comedies of the Thirties.

Frankie Vaughan looks self-conscious throughout, and Anne Heywood struggles vainly against the most hideous costumes and hair-styles that she has ever had to wear.

Tony Britton brings off the considerable feat of making his material sound witty; in fact his whole performance has a style and polish that can only expose the inadequcy of his fellow artists.

"[4] In the Radio Times, David Parkinson gave the film two out of five stars, and wrote, "Veteran director Herbert Wilcox bowed out of films with this undistinguished and wholly unconvincing slice-of-life drama, which was produced by his actress wife Anna Neagle ... Anthony Newley cashes in on a showy supporting role and Vaughan scored a chart hit with the title song.
