Billy Liar (#76)

This week, the guys discuss another John Schlesinger film in the form of the 1963 comedy Billy Liar. How does this movie compare to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ally McBeal and Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Was 1963 the peak year for catchphrase comedians? They also talk about speaking in different dialects based on your audience, Julie Christie/fast food restaurant tie-ins and much, much more.
 
Next week: Since we know what's last, that leaves Nil By Mouth as the penultimate movie on the list!
