Muriel Matters’ famous London raid of leaflets via balloon was dramatised in the 1949 black and white film ‘Kind Hearts and Coronets’.

This clip shows the scene where ‘Louis’ is looking out of his flat window and then uses a bow and arrow to shoot down the balloon from which the suffragette, Lady Agatha D’Ascoyne is dropping leaflets over London. This is the only known dramatisation of Muriel’s Balloon Raid.
