An academy award winner in 1969 in spite of having an X rating, this is one of those classic films that have conventional well. British director John Schlessinger, in his first American film, captured the gritty sordidness of Recent York City, as it was in those days, with all its contrasts and inconsistencies. We glance a man sprawled on the sidewalk in front of an upscale jewelry store being ignored by passersby.
Jon Voight is cast as Joe Buck, a young man from Texas who comes to Fresh York with the dream of becoming a male prostitute. Dustin Hoffman is Rico Ratzo Rizzo, a the crippled street-wise hustler who first cons the young Texan and later befriends him. Together, these two outcasts manufacture a weird bond as they struggle to survive on the streets of Recent York. Joe Bucks’ narrative is told with flashbacks and surreal fantasy sequences, which seem unfocussed at times, but give us an thought of who he is. Ratzo, however, doesn’t need this kind of cinematographic background; his quirky character is all accurate there.
The film is elephantine of memorable characters - Sylvia Miles as an aging Park Avenue woman with a thick Unique York accent who considers herself “one helluva graceful chick”, John McGiver, the religious nutjob who Joe Buck thinks will give him connections to rich women, and Brenda Vacarro who takes Joe home with her after a psychedelic party. There’s a memorable soundtrack too — “The Echoes of My Mind”. And then there’s the memorable conclusion which takes state on a bus headed for Florida.

I loved this video but it’s not for everybody. It’s downbeat and dusky and disturbing. But it says something about human nature and human connection. And it pictures a contrivance of life that might not be genuine but is a reality. Recommended.
1969 was an sterling year for films.There was Anne of the Thousand Days, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,Hello Dolly,Easy Rider, the list goes on and on.Why is it then that this is the film that won the Academy Awards for best narrate,director and screenplay of that year? (and was also given nods for both leading actors) . Perhaps the voters over 30 years ago could forsee that this movie would stand the test of time.

This is a memoir that tugged at our heartstrings, and made us up sit up and acquire ogle of the world around us. Joe Buck(John Voight), a naive,pleasant looking,Texas “cowboy”, in a gain up that looks as if he is Alan Ladd reincarnated, hits the “Great Apple” in hopes of striking it rich (literally) with the ladies there.
It isnt long before his hopes are dashed, he is broke,life on the streets of Fresh York is savage.He must do things that turn his stomach in order to survive. He finds himself in need of a friend. The friend comes in the build of one “Ratso” Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), a sleazy. panderer, who offers Joe a station with him in a condemned apartment building.
Ratso takes Joe under his soar, and together they try to survive on one bag rich swiftly arrangement after another. These two very different men design a modern bond. Joe has disturbing thoughts of the past, and Ratso has dreams of the future. When Ratso falls ill,though. it is Joe who must care for him. Their friendship moved us then and it will disappear you now.
The actors are phenominal in their performances. Hoffman current off his success in “The Graduate” shows us diagram attend then how versitile he is, and Voight the newcomer proved his dramatic skills early on. The director John Schlesinger (Far From the Maddning Crowd) gives us a very realistic notion of life on the streets. At the time of it’s release this film was rated X (it is R now) and although there are some expicit scenes, the main focus is on the kinship of man.

The DVD(MGM) is a nice transfer. The colors ar vibrant. It is in the novel widescreen format (with a standard format on the b side of the disc) It is in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround,not the best I have heard done on a film of this age, but level-headed obliging enough. The soundtrack is incredible with the substantial song “Everybody’s Talkin”. No other special features on the disc itself but it does near with a booklet on the casting and making of the film, along with some other keen facts about it.
This would be an first-rate addition to any film collection.
Enjoy…….Laurie
