I talked the other week about great English working class authors. One of my favourite films and books is Billy Liar by Keith Waterhouse. It was made in 1963, the year I was born. If only they made films like that today. Sheer escapism. Billy Liar England's Walter Mitty.
I think my father based himself (I am joking) on Billy Liar's father. Especially on a Saturday morning when he decide to hoover the whole of the house, banging into the skirting boards and shouting:
"I am up. So we are all up."
One doesn't think he appreciated me coming in the early hours of the morning probably quite the worse for wear. I am sure we put our parents through Hell when we were growing up.
Any way. This is one of my favourite British films. A classic kitchen sink drama/comedy. It also introduced the world to Julie Christie. I just love the way she struts her stuff without a care in the world. If you have never seen the film. You don't know what your missing. You can watch it on You Tube.
Here's a clip for your enjoyment. Do you like this film?

ReplyDeleteYou are in for a treat Dawn. Tom Courtenay and Julie Christie are superb in it along with Wilfred Pickles, Leonard Rossiter.. It's one of my favourite English films.
DeleteDon't know how I missed this. Heard of it but never seen it. Brilliant
ReplyDeleteIt's a cracker of a film LA. Did you see the HP sauce bottle on the table in the clip? What are your favourite films?
DeleteWilfred Pickles ! Now that is a name from the past, I think he might have been one of the UK's first quiz masters ? For he had a catch phrase of "Open the box Mabel"
ReplyDeleteYou are right Heron. He was one of the biggest quiz masters on British television and radio. I remember in the brilliant "For The Love Of Ada." I believe he use to say "Good neet" when he read the news during the war. Didn't they call the radio: "The theatre of the mind?" Thanks!
