Director Murray Grigor presents the legendary Billy Connolly at his beguiling best, using humour and charm to successfully navigate the political tensions of 1970s Dublin and Belfast.
Inspired by the fly-on-the-wall style of DA Pennebaker's Bob Dylan documentary Don't Look Back, this previously elusive milestone of British comedy is now newly restored in 2K from original 16mm materials and features iconic stand-up material alongside fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses.
“It makes for a remarkable viewing experience: this is Connolly the comedian firmly on the cusp of breakthrough onto a global stage, working halls of lively audiences and showing off his iconic Edmund Smith-designed banana boots as he went.” Ralph McLean, The Irish News.
