Renaissance Man is a 1994 comedy film directed by Penny Marshall and starring Danny DeVito, Gregory Hines, James Remar and Ed Begley, Jr. DeVito plays Bill Rago, a recently-dismissed advertising executive hired to teach basic literacy skills to a remedial group of U.S. Army recruits. In Australia, the film is known under the title of Army Intelligence. The film was also remarketed several months after its initial release as a comedy, this time as a drama under the title of By the Book.
