Billy Liar

From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
Based on the 1959 novel by Keith Waterhouse. A working class teenager living with his parents in a small Yorkshire town spends his time dreaming and compulsively lying to others in order to distract himself from his boring job as an undertaker's clerk. A key film in the British New Wave, balancing the experimental techniques of the French New Wave with the gritty disillusionment of kitchen sink realism.
Shot on location in Bradford, Yorkshire.
