Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman, what a duo! Voight is so incredibly sweet and lovable as Buck, and Hoffman, wow, what a virtuoso performance. One of my all-time favorite films. It takes your breath away and with each passing decade it looks better and better.

I had to laugh at your "oh so true" last sentence Damianop! When you compare the masterpiece of Midnight Cowboy to the trash they're throwing out the door now, like Tom Cruise once said "there is no other." (Risky Business) No kidding!

Love that shot of Dustin Hoffman reading up on his lines in the last caption and looking so human. Hard to imagine that the character behind 'Ratso Rizzo' was nothing short of ugly - he definitely was not. Hoffman was quite a heartthrob after 'The Graduate.' but sacrificed it for this part. Acting genius at it's most definable.

I saw a "Man on the Street" interview in 1969, with passerby's watching the filming of "Midnight Cowboy." When they asked people watching the production who Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight were, Nobody who was asked had ever heard of them before. Even though Dustin Hoffman broke out 2 years earlier in "The Graduate."

Spoiler Alert: the tenement apartment in the condemned building they were living in was located on a sound stage. The set was constructed from pieces torn out of a tenement apartment in a condemned building. As much as they wanted to shoot in the actual building, it was too dangerous so they pulled out everything they could and re-constructed it on a sound stage.

@williamlandolfi78582 жыл бұрын
@@cameronpickard7456 , I got the feeling that Joe Buck was a survivor. Yes, he was all alone without Ratso. However, he came into his own in New York City. Although his experiences in New York City were unpleasant, they toughened him up. I think that is one of the reasons why when the waitress in Florida asks Joe where he's from, he says New York without any hesitation. When he and Ratso got to Florida, Joe got rid of his Cowboy boots, hat and jacket. He was ready to start a new life. While his life would probably mot be easy in Florida, he would go there with a sense of reality versus the way he was when he first came to New York City.
