Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight share this c1969 United Artists poster for "Midnight Cowboy," the film that would become the first and only X-rated picture to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Director John Schlesinger's drama follows Joe Buck, a Texas dishwasher who heads to New York to make his fortune as a hustler, and Hoffman's Ratso Rizzo, a sickly small-time con man. Released in 1969, the film was a landmark in American cinema, marking a shift toward gritty, unsentimental storytelling. Its theatrical posters, like this one, pair the two stars to signal the unlikely friendship at its center.
