Product Description
Named one of the 100 Greatest British Films of the 20th century in a recent poll, Billy Liar is a landmark of the early 60s "New Wave" of British Cinema. In one of his most memorable performances, Tom Courtenay (Doctor Zhivago, The Dresser) plays Billy Fisher, a Walter Mitty-like daydreamer stuck in a dead end job in a funeral parlor, but in his rich fantasy life he's everything from a best-selling author to dictator of "Ambrosia." Stringing along two fiancées and spinning lie after lie, Billy's wish to escape his small town life becomes a possibility when he meets Liz, a free-spirited icon of rebellion, played by the dazzling Julie Christie (Doctor Zhivago, Darling in the role that catapulted her to stardom.
