Tom Courtenay delivers a star-making turn as William Terrence Fisher (Billy Liar) in one of the most memorable and universally acclaimed films of the 60s. Running from an unsympathetic working-class family, a pair of demanding fiancees and an insecure job at an undertakers, Billy escapes, Walter Mitty-like, into a world of fantasy where he can realize his dream ambitions. As work and family pressures build to new intolerable levels, Liz (an early, charismatic turn from Julie Christie), enters his drab life and offers Billy the one real chance he'll ever get to leave the past behind. Scripted by Keith Waterhouse from his own novel, 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.

After the tragic death of their daughter, John and Laura Baxter decide to work and recover in Venice. Whilst John finds comfort in the restoration of an ancient gothic church, his wife befriends two mysterious sisters, one of whom is blind and claims to have the psychic ability to communicate with their dead child. She also claims that John has the same gift of “second sight” and his life is in grave danger. Unable to accept the idea of anything supernatural, John is immediately suspicious of the sister’s true intentions and their control over his vulnerable wife. But John’s fate is finally sealed with the appearance of a mysterious figure bearing an uncanny likeness to his tragic daughter.
