Comedy | Drama | Romance | UK | English | B&W | 99min w/ Tom Courtenay, Wilfred Pickles, Julie Christie, Mona Washbourne, Gwendolyn Watts A lazy, irresponsible young clerk in provincial Northern England lives in his own fantasy world and makes emotionally immature decisions as he alienates friends and family. Tom Courtenay gives a flawlessly nuanced performance as Billy Fisher, the underachieving undertaker’s assistant whose constant daydreams and truth-deficient stories earn him the nickname "Billy Liar." Julie Christie is a handbag-swinging charmer whose free spirit just might inspire Billy to finally move out of his parents’ house. Deftly veering from gritty realism to flamboyant fantasy, Billy Liar is a classic.
