Dutch is a 1991 American comedy-drama film directed by Peter Faiman and written by John Hughes. The original music score was composed by Alan Silvestri. The film stars Ethan Embry , Ed O'Neill and JoBeth Williams with a cameo appearance by golfer great Arnold Palmer. O' Neill and Embry would work together again over a decade later in the 2003 version of the series Dragnet. Ari Meyers and E.G. Daily co-starred. Dutch Dooley attends a ritzy party with his girlfriend, Natalie Standish . He stands out terribly among the upper-class aristocrats – wearing a cheap suit and telling boorish... anecdotes. Natalie's relaxed, less rigid personality also does not fit with the rest of the patrons. While there, Dutch meets Natalie's snobbish, wealthy ex-husband Reed , who tells Natalie that he will have to break his Thanksgiving plans with their son Doyle for an unexpected business trip to London. He also threatens to strip Natalie of her custody of Doyle if she gives Reed a hard time.
