Billy's Holiday

Billy's Holiday is a 1995 Australian musical film, directed by Richard Wherrett and starring Max Cullen. Based on Cullen's real-life ability to vocally impersonate Billie Holiday, the film revolves around a man named Billy Apples, played by Cullen, whose life and music career are stagnating until he is visited by Holiday's spirit and finds himself gifted with her voice. Despite finding a receptive audience at the Cannes Film Festival and some success with international distributors, the film was negatively received in Australia and was a box office bomb.
