Midnight Cowboy Summary Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly Thirty Years After Its Original Release, "midnight Cowboy Is Still Heartbreakingand Timeless" (the New York Observer). This Academy AwardÂ(r) Winner* For Best Picture, Director And Screenplay Also Boasts OscarÂ(r)-nominated** Performances By Dustin Hoffman And Jon Voight, Neither Of Whom Have "ever Been Better On Screen Than They Are Here" (chicago Tribune)! When Joe Buck (voight), A Good-looking,naively Charming Texas "cowboy" Makes His Way To The Big Apple To Seek His Fortune, The Only Wealthhe Finds Is In The Friendship Of Ratso Rizzo (hoffman), A Scrounging, Sleazy, Small-time Con Man With Big Dreams. Living On The Tattered Fringe Of Society, These Two Outcasts Develop An Unlikely Bond One That Transcends Their Broken Dreams And Get-rich-quick Schemes And Makes Midnight Cowboy "that Rarest Of Things: [a Film] Every Bit As Moving Now As It Was When It Was [first] Released" (premiere). *1969 **1969: Actor

The first, and only, X-rated film to win a best picture Academy Award, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy seems a lot less daring today (and has been reclassified as an R), but remains a fascinating time capsule of late-1960s sexual decadence in mainstream American cinema. In a career-making performance, Jon Voight plays Joe Buck, a naive Texas dishwasher who goes to the big city (New York) to make his fortune as a sexual hustler. Although enthusiastic about selling himself to rich ladies for stud services, he quickly finds it hard to make a living and eventually crashes in a seedy dump with a crippled petty thief named Ratzo Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman, doing one of his more effective "stupid acting tricks," with a limp and a high-pitch rasp of a voice). Schlesinger's quick-cut, semi-psychedelic style has dated severely, as has his ruthlessly cynical approach to almost everybody but the lead characters. But at its heart the movie is a sad tale of friendship between a couple of losers lost in the big city, and with an ending no studio would approve today. It's a bit like an urban Of Mice and Men, but where both guys are Lenny. --Jim Emerson
