billy liar (1963)


"Yes... today's a day of big decisions."
A young provincial clerk, Billy (Tom Courtenay) is a dreamer who prefers to live in his wild imagination, and the thought of one day leaving to live in London. His small time schemes inverably lead him into trouble, as he longs to get to know free spirit Liz (Julie Christie), who lives the life he professes to want. Then the chance arises to leave with Liz, but is he couragious to do so?
A wonderfully understated comedy drama that spawned a tv series and made stars out of its two leads.
