Entertainment Reviews:
[T]his is a story of dreams unfulfilled, and Hoffman' pathetic street rat, both hilarious and heartbreakingly sad, becomes a kind of tragic hero.
Premiere
Midnight Cowboy features two of cinema's most indelible losers.

Spectrum Culture
[A] haunting 1969 classic about a conflicted connection between a naïve Texan hustler and a sickly Bronx-born scammer.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 5/5 --
Schlesinger's camera discovers everywhere something rarely glimpsed in Hollywood movies - poverty.

Guardian
[E]verything is delivered with such potency and force and the Harry Nilsson song 'Everybody’s Talkin’' is one of the most evocative of the age.
The Guardian
...[The performances] have lost none of their magic....[They show us] characters who have nothing to offer the audience but their own lost souls. -- Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
For a street opera with incongruous inspirations and mix-and-match aspirations, Midnight Cowboy is startlingly accomplished.

Product Description:
Joe Buck (Jon Voight), an aspiring male prostitute from Texas, heads to Manhattan where he hopes to find plenty of wealthy women willing to pay for the services of a handsome man. When he arrives, the naive country boy befriends Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), a tubercular homeless con artist who dreams of moving to Florida. As they go about trying to get the money Ratso needs, the two men confront the seediness, corruption, and cruelty that flourish in the big city.
Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy, this Oscar-winning film (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay) features brilliant performances by Voight and Hoffman, and brings to the screen an unusually gritty realism in its portrayal of the streets of New York City.
