Billy Connolly: Big Banana Feet
Billy Connolly was, in the 1970s, a sort of Scottish Lenny Bruce, who, with devastating humour, sliced through the hypocrisies he perceived. This 1976 documentary follows the singer-comic during his 1975 Irish tour. Made in a cinema verité fashion, the performer appears to be completely unaware of the presence of the camera in his off-stage and backstage moments.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
can not find on video and want it very much if any one can help please contact me. the film shows billy at his best with his musical talent that he so rarely shows these days and stories he no longer tells. a real must see.
