| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

When Billy Liar's job starts getting boring, his dreams get the better of him. Always living in his own fantasy world, gets him into trouble as he starts to bend the truth slightly and exaggerate. He finds himself engaged to atleast two girlfriends, even though his family disapprove and his idea of reality is somewhat far-fetched. Billy's two girlfriends, Rita and Barbara fight for his hand in marriage, or the ring. Whilst getting himself tied up in lie after lie, Billy always manages to think his way out of it and eventually realises the girl who shares the same concept on life as him is Liz. Who is seen as his soul-mate, free-willed and carefree, she invites him to go away and get married to her. Even though he would like nothing better than to do this, Billy Liar is unable to, as his own personality gets the better of him. By Sophie Usher
[edit] Novel vs Play
The "Characters" section makes several references to the play: e.g. "Florence falls ill in Act 2 and is taken upstairs. By Act 3 she has died." Since the article is primarily about the novel, these need to be rewritten (and perhaps the play needs its own article). I'll try to do this at some point, unless anyone else gets there first..
