Midnight Cowboy

Texas greenhorn Joe Buck arrives in New York City for the first time. Preening himself as a real "hustler", he finds that he is the one getting "hustled" until he teams up with down-and-out but resilient outcast Ratso Rizzo. The initial "country cousin meets city cousin" relationship deepens. In their efforts to bilk a hostile world rebuffing them at every turn, this unlikely pair progress from partners in shady business to comrades. Each has found his first real friend. ??alfiehitchieAwards: 28 wins & 16 nominations totalBudget: $3,600,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $44,801,177Soundtrack: Everybody's Talkin' (Words and Music by Fred Neil)John SchlesingerDustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Sylvia Miles1969-05-25 (United States)tt0064665
