Billy bathgate is a wonderful coming of age tale of a young man that has strode too far down into the rabbit whole of the socio-economic decay of 1930s New York. He is a greenhorn, wet behind the ears and it slow to pick up things from the more established Dustin Hoffman but never the less the movie is pretty amazing.

"Billy Bathgate" charts the seemingly charmed path of a resourceful street kid (Loren Dean) who latches on to the Dutch Shultz gang in Dewey-era New York City. Shultz (Dustin Hoffman) has a gang which has seen the zenith of its power its fighting to hold his place in a world where Irish and Italian politicians and mobsters are on the ascendancy.

Many Hollywood movies have glorified the gang violence of the Prohibition era, so if you like that niche genre, you're going to want to rent Billy Bathgate. A young kid, Loren Dean, idolizes the extremely powerful and cold-hearted gangster Dustin Hoffman.

Billy Bathgate is based on E.L.

Billy Bathgate is really good gangster movie, but something is missing, Dustin is usual as ever, great Loren Dean performance, Nicole Kidman as marvelous in breathtaking scenes and surprisingly the unforgettable our hero in the past in Mission Impossible series Steven Hill on a very respectable and fine acting, almost unnoticed if didn't l used to read the opening credits, more helping the Lucky guy along the picture like a father, based in real facts on the thirties.Resume:First watch: 1996 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.

It's 1935 NYC. Dutch Schultz (Dustin Hoffman) has Bo Weinberg (Bruce Willis) tied up.

Gangster movies were in fashion in the 1990s, but among them, this movie is undoubtedly rare. Why?

My third viewing since it came out. The thing is stirring, romantic.

***SPOILERS*** Truth and fiction are mixed into the movie "Billy Bathgate" and the results comes out like an upside-down cake; totally confusing. At the beginning of the film see Bo Weinberg, Bruce Willis, on his way to go the sleep with the fishes, deep sixth-ed, for something that he did to hurt his boss Dutch, Arthur Fegenheimer, Schultz (Dustin Hoffman).
