Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me, that's a really true fact!
No 307 - Midnight Cowboy Director - John Schlesinger This is a very odd little film. I'm not sure I can easily explain what it is about, but it features Joe Buck, a very naive and equally full of himself Texan who moves to New York in order to become a man ho, a male gigolo . However, it is not an easy job and he finds himself poorer and poorer with less and less to own. As he becomes more cynical and more impoverished , he is taken in and looked after by Rizzo , a sickly thief and reprobate. Together they squat in condemned building and try desperately to get by. As you may be able to tell, this isn't the jolliest of films. I do really like the initial Joe Buck. When we meet him in Texas, he is full of life and pep and vigour. He is proud of the way he looks, he wears beautifully flamboyant shirts and dresses like an old school cowboy. He is chivalrous , kind and just so bloody happy about everything. He really is an adorable character. The kindness and the optimism balance...
