who is the father of billy the kid? The question popped into my mind while watching the film. I conveyed my interest into an internet search and turned up nothing. it seems that the writer provided his own story about the father of the kid which is quite unique in it's own regard. story isn't much about the kid but instead focuses on his mother and fathers relationship. I recommend solely on the basis of a story that doesn't beat the horse dead like the other movies about billy. I bought the movie off the net for $10 and wish the special features would had been longer. The next one will probably feature the kid as the main role.
