Big Banana Feet
Archived Event
Dir: Murray Grigor | UK | 1976 | 77 mins Documentary
Rarely seen since its original release, capturing 'The Big Yin' on and off stage during his 1975 tour of Ireland, Big Banana Feet is a captivating record of Billy Connolly on the cusp of international fame.
Inspired by the fly-on-the-wall style of DA Pennebaker's Bob Dylan documentary Don't Look Back, director Murray Grigor and cinematographer David Peat present Connolly at his beguiling best, using his comic and musical talents and no small amount of roguish charm to navigate the political tensions of 1970s Dublin and Belfast.
Featuring iconic stand-up material alongside fascinating behind-the-scenes footage, this milestone of British comedy has been lovingly restored in 2K from original 16mm materials, reaffirming the warmth and genius that has endeared Connolly to generations of fans.
