Billy Bathgate is a 1991 American crime film directed by Robert Benton, starring Loren Dean as the titular character and Dustin Hoffman as gangster Dutch Schultz. The film co-stars Nicole Kidman, Steven Hill, Steve Buscemi, and Bruce Willis. It is based on the novel of the same name by E.L. Doctorow. The screenplay is by Tom Stoppard. Doctorow distanced himself from the film for the extensive manner in which it deviated from the book in style and content.
