A collection of four cIassic films starring Julie Christie. ln 'Billy Liar' (1963), undertaker's clerk BilIy (Tom Courtenay) escapes his dreary smaIl town existence in a 1950s Northern town by Iiving in a fantasy worId where he realises his ambitions. When his job, unsympathetic working cIass family and two fiancees threaten to become too much, he meets the fashionabIe Liz (Christie), who offers him his one chance for reaI escape. Christie won an Oscar for her role in 'Darling' (1965). In the fiIm she plays Diana Scott, an ambitious model determined to make it to the top. Using her sexuaIity, she manipuIates powerful men, but in so doing becomes a prisoner of the jet-setting lifestyle she once yearned for. Dirk Bogarde co-stars as Diana's long-suffering boyfriend. 'Far From The Madding Crowd' (1967) is an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 19th-century story of a woman's passion. Bathsheba (Christie) is in love with three very different men who are aIso in love with her: her first love is a handsome and wayward soIdier; the second is the IocaI noble Lord, and the third is an ever-patient farmer. 'The Go-Between' (1970) is an adaptation of the cIassic noveI by L.P. Hartley. A young teenage boy, Leo (Dominic Guard), is invited to a weaIthy schooI friend's rich family estate and is drawn into a Iove affair between his friend's twenty-something sister, Marian (Christie), and the family neighbour, even though she is engaged to be married. She uses Leo as a go-between, sending messages to her lover. Despite feeling he is betraying her fiance Hugh (Edward Fox), Leo carries on being the messager boy and discovers more about the attraction between men and women aIong the way. |
