      EPILOGUE: "On a budget of $3.6 million, Midnight Cowboy (1969) grossed $44.8 million. John Schlesinger won the Academy Award® for Best Director over Costa-Gavras, George Roy Hill, Arthur Penn and Sydney Pollack. Waldo Salt won the Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay. John Schlesinger went on to make films in America and abroad, working again with Dustin Hoffman on the highly successful Marathon Man (1976). Jon Voight won an Academy Award® for Best Actor in Coming Home (1978), written by Waldo Salt. Jennifer Salt retired from acting and became a successful screenwriter like her father.

Midnight Cowboy (1969)'s X rating was eventually changed to an R without altering any of the films content."

    Too extracurricular

    Using the currency of the moment to tie in other trendy things.. A stockbroker mentality. Where was the "Midnight Cowboy" stuff? They took a short interview with Jon Voigt and spliced it up and inserted a bit every 15 minutes.. And there's one old Dustin Hoffman audio they used.. I'm a left-winger, and this trendy justice whorior thing just bugged me. They are just making money off the latest thing that makes money. Nothing else.

    It's a great movie, but I would have loved to have heard more interviews, more archives.. I don't need some 24-year old to explain the movie to me. It was nice to have some audio from the writer, who has been forgotten in cinema.
