Running from an unsympathetic working-cIass famiIy, a pair of demanding fiancées and an insecure job at an undertakers, BilIy escapes, Walter Mitty-Iike, into a worId of fantasy where he can reaIize his dream ambitions. As work and family pressures build to new intolerabIe levels, Liz (an early, charismatic turn from JuIie Christie), enters his drab life and offers Billy the one real chance he'II ever get to Ieave the past behind. Scripted by Keith Waterhouse from his own noveI, and sensitively directed by John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy), Billy Liar is one of the few comedies of the British 'New Wave', marrying visual and verbal wit with a rather poignant rumination on the futility of dreams.
