' The Bicycle Thief' (Ladri di biciclette) 1948.
Even though it was filmed in Old Tucson I just couldn't make it thru this one my first try.
I don't know anything about Dane DeHaan but he pulled off a pretty good Billy. He had that short dumpy look & his hat was perfect as seen in the famous pic of Billy with the Winchester. While watching it came to me that if a blockbuster movie of Billy was ever made (like Tombstone) Leonardo DiCaprio could probably pull off the perfect Billy.
The 34th rule of the Internet: If it exists, there's a appreciation version of it. If there isn't, there will be.

I thought of the age factor also. And I would prefer it to stay close to the legend of Billy as we know it to be. So no, I don't believe Brushy Bill Roberts was the real Billy the Kid & lived into the early 1950's.I suspect he's a little old for it now, but that kid in the photo aboved sures does look a lot like a younger Dicaprio. Maybe Lenny could play the older version?? (Wasn't there some plot twist in Young ***s where it turned out Billy was still alive or something?)
