Dirty Little Billy (1972)
Pollard too old.

Pollard was 33 when he made this movie. Billy the Kid was only 22 when he was killed - much later - in New Mexico. I'm not sure just how old Billy the Kid was when he moved west, but I remember reading something about him being in El Paso when he was only 13. I'm somewhat of a Billy the Kid student. I think he was best characterized in Young Guns - not that it was a historical truth, but it did seem to capture him. Paul Newman, certainly, did not play a believable Billy the Kid. I wonder just how many people have played Billy the Kid in films. It would be interesting to name them all and try to rate their roles. Anybody out there who wants to give that a try?
