Midnight Cowboy - the story of a small-town stud's attempt to make it big as a hustler on the streets of 1960s New York - is an indisputably iconic film. Jon Towlson reclaims Midnight Cowboy as a queer text by addressing John Schlesinger as a gay author and filmmaker and providing a fresh perspective on the film's relationship to the 1965 James Leo Herlihy novel from which it was adapted. Though recognized in terms of its early adoption of Nouvelle Vague cinematography and editing techniques, and renowned for an Oscar win in spite of controversy over its X-rating, Midnight Cowboy has yet to be understood as a classic of queer cinema.
Depictions of sixties New York Offering a nuanced and personal view of the film's relevance to queer experience and queer friendship, Towlson also considers Midnight Cowboy's production and reception and its place in Schlesinger's filmography.
