A collection of four classic films starring Julie Christie. In
'Billy Liar' (1963), undertaker's clerk Billy (Tom Courtenay)
escapes his dreary small town existence in a 1950s Northern town by
living in a fantasy world where he realises his ambitions. When his
job, unsympathetic working class family and two fiancees threaten
to become too much, he meets the fashionable Liz (Christie), who
offers him his one chance for real escape. Christie won an Oscar
for her role in 'Darling' (1965). In the film she plays Diana
Scott, an ambitious model determined to make it to the top. Using
her sexuality, she manipulates 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 also in
love with her: her first love is a handsome and wayward soldier;
the second is the local noble Lord, and the third is an
ever-patient farmer. 'The Go-Between' (1970) is an adaptation of
the classic novel by L.P. Hartley. A young teenage boy, Leo
(Dominic Guard), is invited to a wealthy school friend's rich
family estate and is drawn into a love 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 along the way.
