The Best Film ever shot in Yorkshire - By: Yorkshire Man, 08 Dec 2007 
This is without doubt the greatest film ever filmed in Yorkshire - Bradford & a bit of Leeds ( & a short scene in Oxford Street). It has no faults, so rare for any film.
This was the film that made Julie Christie into a star, however she was not the first choice. The first Liz was played by Topsy Jane who became ill during the shoot & had to be replaced. Julie Christie was chosen because she was the first person they asked who was free to go to Bradford that week.
Great Movie - By: ray dorrity, 04 Oct 2007 As a 18 year old when I first saw this,it convinced me that I was not nuts & that other people had their own fantasy worlds just like Billy's "Ambrosia".
In the days before franking machines, the stamp tin was the personal perquisite (perk) of the junior clerk of the office.
When Billy tries to hand in his notice at the Undertakers where he works, he is told that it will not be accepted until "the stamp book balances".
The piles of unposted Christmas calendards hidden in Billy's bedroom always bring back guilty memories for me!
Also, this movie caused me to falll in love with a young & impossibly beautiful Julie Christie.
A great piece of 1960's Northern life.
