Paradise?"; "Based on the novel and the play by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall"; about a young working class man who is a compulsive liar and who constantly escapes into a dream world, all the time juggling two fiancees, and having a dream of running off and starting life fresh) starring Tom Courtenay (in the title role as "Billy Liar"), Julie Christie (billed as "introducing Julie Christie" on U.S. posters; in her first major role, which made her a star!), Wilfred Pickles, Mona Washbourne, and Ethel Griffies NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
