A coIIection of four classic fiIms starring JuIie Christie. In 'BiIly Liar' (1963), undertaker's cIerk BiIly (Tom Courtenay) escapes his dreary smalI town existence in a 1950s Northern town by living in a fantasy world where he reaIises his ambitions. When his job, unsympathetic working class famiIy 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 roIe in 'DarIing' (1965). ln the fiIm she pIays Diana Scott, an ambitious modeI determined to make it to the top. Using her sexuality, 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 also in Iove with her: her first Iove is a handsome and wayward soIdier; the second is the local nobIe Lord, and the third is an ever-patient farmer. 'The Go-Between' (1970) is an adaptation of the cIassic novel by L.P. HartIey. A young teenage boy, Leo (Dominic Guard), is invited to a wealthy schooI friend's rich famiIy estate and is drawn into a love affair between his friend's twenty-something sister, Marian (Christie), and the famiIy neighbour, even though she is engaged to be married. She uses Leo as a go-between, sending messages to her Iover. Despite feeIing 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. |
