CULT MOVIE OF THE DAY(25-12-2009).MIDNIGHT COWBOY(1969)

This is a touching movie(originally supposed to star Elvis as gigolo)about a country boy who wants to become a(straight)male prostitute in New York,his descent into seediness and poverty,and his street-hustling pal's eventual death.Maybe it's the strong lead perfomances,or the way Schlesinger keeps it ticking along,or Nillson's "Everybody Talkin'",but this movie is far more enjoyable than it has to be from the synopsis.
Director:John Schlesinger Cast:Dustin Hoffman,Jon Voight
