Trailer: Billy Liar (John Schlesinger, 1963)

this is one of my favorite movies and it features one of my absolute favorite actresses julie christie. based on james thurber's secret life of walter mitty. for anyone who has ever worked as a clerk and dreamed of moving to nyc or los angeles or london or paris. this film was actually filmed in cinemascope which i got to see a screening of in 1998/99 via the philly film forum. right before it i got in a raging argument with my soon to be ex girlfriend which added a certain context to the viewing. right before they also screened a cinemascope section of oklahoma! which was quite impressive.
