Product Details:
| This tough, potent, and shocking movie – winner of three Oscars including Best Picture depicts the tragedy of urban American street life through the eyes of a naive “cowboy” (Jon Voight) and a sleazy con artist (Dustin Hoffman). Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its original release, “Midnight Cowboy is still heartbreaking and timeless” (The New York Observer). This Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay also boasts Oscar-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 wealth he 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). |
