A young man with a boring job prefers to escape the real world and spend most of his time in his own wild imagination.

The film Billy Lair was well suited to the film as Billy Fisher was a bad laier. There very funny parts and not so funny parts as Billy's Grandma dies in hospital. The film was made in 1960's (without colour) The special effects weren't the best but still very good. He was well knowen to be in a mix up. He's parents were not the best role modles in his life but night before he went to london ( or was planning to) he was told that he couldn't go to london because his parents needed himat home. Billy hadn't told anyone that he was engaded to three women but it didn't matter as none of them married in the film. It was the first Black and White film I've seen and was very good. Billy often went off into a fansty world were everything was his way and he was encharge as he was the Prime Minster of the contry. I think that some people may find it hard to understand as you somtimes don't know when he is in a dream. I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to 8 year old and above to 12 or 13 year olds as there are volent scenes in his dreams but only a few. I am giving ' Billy Lair ' five stas
