MISSION BEACH FILM CLUB Presents: Midnight Cowboy on Saturday 28 November 2015 from 6 PM Midnight Cowboy 1969 USA – 113 minutes – Drama – M 15+ Stars: Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Sylvia Miles Director: John Schlesinger IMDb Rating: 8.0 Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnFoaj8utio Language: English Awards: www.imdb.com/title/tt0064665/awards?ref_=tt_awd Joe Buck (John Voight), is a tall and handsome young Texan who hits New York to hustle money out of rich women. He is befriended by a sickly, limping, lowlife con-man, 'Ratso' Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), who offers to manage Joe’s career, for their joint benefit. A unique bond develops between the unlikely duo, but the two prove no match for the urban jungle of Manhattan. But nothing else is predictable about Midnight Cowboy, even now, more than 40 years after it's explosive, Oscar winning debut as the haunting odd couple buddy movie film noir of the decade. Waldo Salt's salty script is superbly realised by Schlesinger and both Hoffman and Voight deliver career high performances as lost animals of prey in an urban zoo.
