Dirty Little Billy is a 1972 American western film co-written and directed by Stan Dragoti in his feature film debut, and stars Michael J. Pollard as Billy the Kid. Clearly influenced by the darker, more sinister style of Spaghetti Westerns, the film offered a unique insight into the beginnings of the titular notorious outlaw. It is notable for Nick Nolte's film debut, along with a background appearance for experimental filmmaker/artist William Ault.
