Absolutely fantastic film in all aspects, this one goes down as my all time favorite..! Since I was born in Bradford the local film scenes bring back lots of memories from that era.
try and get keith waterhouse books he wanted julie christie for the role and got her city lights is my favourite book but they are all good and if you can see his mate peter o'toole in jeffrey barnard is unwell that is in my opinion his best stage performance.
Tom Courtney was also in The lonliness of the long distance runner by Alan Sillitoe. Saturday night and Sunday morning is also a fantastic british film of the 60s, stars Albert finney, great book too
I absolutely agree I am singing it twenty hours a day it’s so catchy just love it I want it on repeat all day and night would love more information on twisterralla sons and band
love this film especially the rockers outside terrorising the birds outside the Locarno,fuckin brill...Do you know if this song was released at all????
Yes, just found out about the Billy Liar connection. The lyrics on most sites for Ride's 'Twisterella' show: "Look at Twisterella, she hasn't got a fella", but it could be "Cookie Twisterella' as it sounds similar, and if you didn't know the original, it would make sense. It doesn't help that the two lines at the end of the song are deep in the mix, so not super clear...
I must admit, as someone who has enjoyed the Ride song for the past 32 years, this video is very surreal.
lol
Always loved this film. I guess we are all Billy Liars or fantasists in our own way.

The movie was fantastic loved it but can’t get that song out of my head twisterralla I got to have it
tom has the most cheekiest face! two of the finest actors - this is my favourite film of all time!
I love Billy Liar…first saw it as a kid in the 80’s…via The Smiths and Morrissey’s live for Kitchen Sink Dramas
One of my favorite films of all time.
Ride wrote this song and went back in time to sell it to them
Wow! No wonder Julie Christie became a star...she has the most remarkable face. You can't take your eyes off of her!
"....do you mean to say Billy that you've been having relations with this girl... ? ....brilliant..... British film at its best
Yank who loves Brit films of this era, and Tom Courtenay was just incomparable in his heyday. Someone PLEASE post the whole film!

For a Yank you've got great taste, I'm a true Brit who doesn't like many American films can't beat a great British film

@@davoid7914 Listen to live versions of the song to find out. : )
@@mungofinalfi4480 Thanks Mungo. I checked out the acoustic live version and the lyrics are "Look at Twisterella", not "Cookie Twisterella"...
Remember when I first heard the Ride version and couldn’t believe they had sorta covered a song I loved from Billy Liar!
