Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best director and Best Screenplay, Midnight cowboy also boasts Oscar. nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight and Sylvia Miles.
Dustin Hoffman gives an unforgettable performance as Ratso Rizzo, a scrounging, sleazy small-time con man with big dreams. Jon Voight is magnificent as Joe Buck, the good-looking, naively charming Texan 'cowboy' who is convinced that he is the salvation of many lonely, love starved New York women. These two characters are drawn together in this powerful and compassionate film.
