		The astonishing story of Billy's apprenticeship to Shultz and his education at the hands of the mobster's minions is related by Doctorow with masterful skill, grace and lucidity of prose, inspired inventiveness of scene and true-voiced dialogue.
		Billy's character was a symbol similar to the character Holden Caulfield in the book Catcher and the Rye but the difference between the two characters was that Billy was a little bit less in control of his destiny and was led on more in this story.
		Billy is also expressed as an outcast from society trying to find himself a feel like he belongs somewhere.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Billy Bathgate \| Deseret Morning News Web edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		With all the advance publicity about "Billy Bathgate" being awash in production problems, along with battles between director Robert Benton and star Dustin Hoffman (despite their having worked together previously on the Oscar-winning "Kramer vs. Kramer"), one could expect the film to be a disaster of the first order.
		"Billy Bathgate" is filled with interesting characters: Otto Berman (Steven Hill), Dutch's chief aide, who feels some paternal responsibility for Billy; hitman Irving (Steve Buscemi, memorable as the bellboy in "Barton Fink"), who at first is an idol, then a nemesis of Billy's; and a bevy of smaller roles filled by seasoned character actors.
		"Billy Bathgate" is rated R for violence, profanity and sex, along with two gratuitous scenes of Kidman in the buff.

	Billy Bathgate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Billy Bathgate juggles his way into the good graces of a 1930s New York gangster.
		She of course develops a certain fondness, and a lack of modesty, towards young Billy, who is given her care during much of the film.
		Billy Bathgate doesn't break new ground in the gangster genre and its pace is a little slow at times, but it'll absorb you into the story regardless until its abrupt, somewhat unsatisfying end.

		"Billy Bathgate" is one of the most surprising films released this year.
		Bathgate discovers that his boss's success is based on the fact that he is totally ruthless: After Schultz kills one of his two-timing cronies, played by Bruce Willis, he has the gall to shack up with the dead man's socialite girlfriend, played by Nicole Kidman.
		The rest of the film follows Bathgate's adventures with Schultz and his lover, most of which are pretty mundane.

		Young Billy Bathgate witnesses atrocities of the crime world in his introduction to a brutal and unsparing life that takes him through the heart of the city and the rural underworld in Depression-era America.
		Though BILLY BATHGATE meditates on many matters--mobsters and orphans, the East Bronx and the Great Depression, the politics of sex and the psychology of class...think of it, like Scott Fitzgerald's THE GREAT GATSBY or Horatio Alger's RAGGED DICK, as a fairy tale about capitalism.

	BILLY BATHGATE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Billy Behan, a fatherless Irish-Jewish kid from the East Bronx, is 15 when he first has the luck one day to see Schultz in the flesh--and the greater luck briefly to catch the illustrious mobster's attention.
		Back in the city, the gang finds itself under mounting pressures (not only are other gangs, but so is special prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey moving in on them), and when the dreadful shootout comes, only Billy, Ishmael-like, lives to tell the tale--and to provide a denoument that may or may not convince every reader.
		What could have been merely another round of nostalgia-drenched mobster romancing earns a claim, by end, to a genuine depth, and, formed by the magical skill of Doctorow's incomparable past-painting hands, the book simply pulls and pulls and pulls.

	Billy Bathgate Film Review - Time Out Film
		An early scene, in which the gangster (Hoffman) sees 16-year-old Billy (Dean) juggling balls high above the street on a railway bridge, catches the magic realism of the novel, but little else does.
		Dutch's mistress (Kidman), a society woman slumming, takes a shine to Billy, and their affair provides some necessary development to relationships within the gang.
		The best performance comes from Steven Hill as Otto, the gangster's faithful retainer, and although Dean is OK as the kid with luck, the role of talisman doesn't play on film.
