"Today is the day for big decisions."  - Willian "Billy" Fisher

The road to success can be daunting. Broken-down support systems and people's blind cheering can make it hard to share failures. Therefore, white lies  turn black, tarnishing a once-promising path and person. In John Schlesinger’s Billy Liar (1963), Billy Fisher (Tom Courtenay) faces an identity crisis when he covers his compounded lies of being an engaged, rising comedy writer with more lies, unable to live the truth. His fears of losing his affected self-image are constantly questioned, always offering him the opportunity to finally be real and begging him to tell no more porkies. Please, Billy, don't tell porkies. Billy, please.
