Midnight Cowboy**
(US 1969)
A cowboy stud heads east to New York, and finds it to be a far from promised land.
Sometimes over-stylized, often compelling rags-to-rags drama (like a realistic modern Chaplin fable but with barely a trace of sentiment, and plenty of permissiveness), using the director's semi-documentary style and a fine music soundtrack, together with other fashions such as psychedelic rapid cutting, and a poignant ending. Along with Taxi Driver, the two most vivid depictions of an unglamorous New York underbelly.
Written by: Waldo Salt, from the novel by James Leo Herlihy.
Producer: Jerome Hellman.
Director: John Schlesinger.
Starring: Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman, Sylvia Miles, John McGiver, Brenda Vaccaro, Barnard Hughes, Bob Balaban, Ruth White, Jennifer Salt.
Photography: Adam Holender.
Music Supervision: John Barry (song "Everybody's Talkin'" sung by Harry Nilsson).
