Hoffman is often so overpowering as Schultz that many of the supporting cast, in particular Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi, are all but overlooked. We're allowed into his world through the eyes of Dean's Bathgate, a criminal voyeur who dreams of the riches the mob life could bring. Though the film is titled Billy Bathgate, this is all Dustin Hoffman's film. However, among indictments and betrayals, Schultz's empire soon begins to crumble, leaving Bathgate exposed. When pending indictments force Schultz and his close crew to the countryside in order to have a more impartial hearing, Schultz brings him along to keep tabs on Drew Preston, a recently acquired moll. Starting as his gopher, Bathgate soon moves up, due to his honesty and hard work. Growing up poor in the mid 1930s, young Billy Bathgate latches onto mob kingpin Dutch Schultz after a chance encounter and is determined to make something of himself in that world. Starring in the film are: Dustin Hoffman (Dutch Schultz), Nicole Kidman (Drew Preston), Loren Dean (Billy Bathgate), Bruce Willis (Bo), Steve Buscemi (Irving), and Stanley Tucci (Lucky Luciano). Billy Bathgate, released theatrically in 1991, was directed by Robert Benton and based on the novel by E.L. ![]()
