Love Story In The Periphery Of Hell
Two desperate characters meet. It’s not a meet cute in the classic sense of the word but it’s not far away from it either. It’s also a melodrama, operatic but hidden in a reality that can’t possibly be real. Dustin Hoffman is as bold as Bette Davis in a Warner Brothers melodrama. Amazing. And Jon Voight? – He wasn’t the first choice, Michael Sarrazin was. Jon Voight plays his whore with a heart of gold with the decency of a Mary Astor in another melodrama from the the 40’s. I’ve seen Midnight Cowboy 5 times, the first time in a theater, three other times in VHS or DVD – Last night I saw it in a huge screen in the house of a friend. HD I believe and, Oh my God. I wept. I was taken over completely by this two devastating, truly devastating characters. John Schlesiger the director, a genius. British by birth but he showed us an America that most people didn’t know existed, not even Americans. This is a film for the ages.

“Only The Echoes Of My Mind”
Midnight Cowboy has the dubious distinction of being the first and only X-rated film ever to win the Best Picture Oscar. Then the rules got changed and mere subject matter alone could not qualify a film for an X-rating. Today the sexual subject matter of this film wouldn’t get a passing wink, male prostitution’s been done quite a bit on the big and small screen.

Through a series of flashbacks we see what’s created the character of Joe Buck that Jon Voight plays, living with a rather loose aunt played by Ruth White and finding his true love in Jennifer Salt to be not so true. Women are just sex objects to him, but when he decides to make use of his lovemaking talents in the biggest market of all, New York City, it’s Voight who turns out to be the naive one.

Although street character Dustin Hoffman is among many who clip this Texan, later on Hoffman and Voight form an unusual bond. Hoffman’s Ratso Rizzo is one veteran of the mean streets of New York, in fact he’s lived in them for too long. When Voight and Hoffman meet, they don’t know it, but Hoffman’s health is beyond repair.

The pitiable Rizzo and the naive country boy Buck form one of the most unusual male bonding attachments ever brought to the screen. Rizzo is latently gay, but what upbringing he’s had has told him that was wrong to have these feelings. Rizzo constantly uses the “F” word and rejects any companionship even when it’s offered at that Sixties free love party with all kinds of substance aids.

As for Buck, he’s gay when he’s got to be though he hates it because of his upbringing. Note the scene with Bob Balaban making his screen debut in the movie theater when Buck needs money. And later on he robs Barnard Hughes who plays another self-loathing gay man. Hughes is quite good in the role, he could have been a US Senator he was that good.

Midnight Cowboy won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director for John Schlesinger, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Waldo Salt. That last one must have been especially sweet for the formerly blacklisted Salt. John Voight and Dustin Hoffman were nominated for Best Actor, but with the competition being the man who put more people in movie seats than anyone else in history John Wayne, these two newbies didn’t stand a chance that year. They both got Oscars eventually, but poor Richard Burton who was also up for Anne Of A Thousand Days never got the gold as did Peter O’Toole who was nominated for Goodbye Mr. Chips.

Sylvia Miles was up for Best Supporting Actress as the upper East Side grande dame who polishes off a quickie with Voight and turns the tables on him in the money department. It was Voight’s introduction to New York and the scene is just brilliant. It was Miles’s career role as an actress although she lost to Goldie Hawn for Cactus Flower. It’s the highlight of Midnight Cowboy for me.

Midnight Cowboy coming out as it did in 1969 reflects its times quite accurately. It was the end of the Sixties and the Hippie generation, at the same time it was made just as people were rioting in the streets of Greenwich Village for their rights as GLBT Americans. People like Bob Balaban and Barnard Hughes’s characters would no longer be the stereotypical self loathing gay men. Midnight Cowboy maybe even more than Boys In The Band is a glimpse of where we’ve come from.

It’s not a pretty place, nor is Midnight Cowboy a pretty picture. But Jon Voight, that was indeed one beautiful cowboy.
