If you loved Twilight, try Billy Bathgate

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Benton, and they sit in Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Twilight, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Billy Bathgate is

You scavenge the Bronx in 1935 when a reckless boy drifts into the orbit of Dutch Schultz’s violent charity. Then love and bullets collide. Benton frames the spectacle with autumn light and moral rot.
