- <p> Hollywood loves to play a game called What's Wrong with
- this Picture? You take a big-budget movie, wait for its release
- date to be postponed, then call it the next Heaven's Gate, a
- legendary flop. Hence Billy Bathgate, starring DUSTIN HOFFMAN
- and LOREN DEAN and originally due in July, becomes Billygate.
- But industry gossip aside, Bathgate's director, Robert Benton,
- is bullish. "It's an extraordinary story," says Benton. "It's
- unlike any gangster film you've ever seen." Why the delay? An
- unrealistic release date and routine reshoots. Nobody said the
- game was fair.
