“The real Billy the Kid wasn’t big or tough or brave…he was a punk.”

Revisionist Western, Dirty Little Billy, was released in November of 1972. The film was directed by Stan Dragoti (Love at First Bite) and stars Michael J. Pollard (Bonnie and Clyde) as Billy the Kid.

This is a strange little Western and I have a vague memory of watching it as a child. I’ve always been a big fan of Pollard but had forgotten about this film until stumbling onto the trailer. Reviews were mixed for Dirty Little Billy but I’m intrigued enough to watch it again in adulthood. Fire up the trailer and see what you think.
