I happened to catch "Billy Bathgate" (1991) last night...stars Dustin Hoffman...gangsters under Dutch Schultz in 30's New York. It was an explosion of great fedoras. Every style. Every color. And the race track scene at Saratoga illicited a desire to freeze frame on each of the wide variety of straw fedoras and I'm not even a straw hat guy. So, if over the long weekend ahead you want to take a break from Turner's collection of WWII flicks, rent "Billy Bathgate." You're bound to spot a hat style you've never seen before.
