Shooting Midnight cowboy : art, sex, loneliness, liberation, and the making of a dark classic / Glenn Frankel. by Frankel, Glenn. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021. Call #: 791.4372 M629f Subjects Schlesinger, John, 1926-2003.   Hellman, Jerome.   Salt, Waldo.   Voight, Jon, 1938-   Hoffman, Dustin, 1937-   Midnight cowboy (Motion picture)   Motion pictures -- Production and direction.   Homosexuality and motion pictures.   Prostitutes in motion pictures. ISBN:  9780374209018 (hc) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  415 p., 16 unnumbered p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 345-394) and index. Summary:  "The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and New York Times–bestselling author of the behind-the-scenes explorations of the classic American Westerns High Noon and The Searchers now reveals the history of the controversial 1969 Oscar-winning film that signaled a dramatic shift in American popular culture...Glenn Frankel's Shooting Midnight Cowboy tells the story of a modern classic that, by all accounts, should never have become one in the first place. The film's boundary-pushing subject matter -- homosexuality, prostitution, sexual assault -- earned it an X rating when it first appeared in cinemas in 1969. For Midnight Cowboy, Schlesinger -- who had never made a film in the United States -- enlisted Jerome Hellman, a producer coming off his own recent flop and smarting from a failed marriage, and Waldo Salt, a formerly blacklisted screenwriter with a tortured past. The decision to shoot on location in New York, at a time when the city was approaching its gritty nadir, backfired when a sanitation strike filled Manhattan with garbage fires and fears of dysentery...By turns madcap and serious, and enriched by interviews with Hoffman, Voight, and others, Shooting Midnight Cowboy: Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation, and the Making of a Dark Classic is not only the definitive account of the film that unleashed a new wave of innovation in American cinema, but also the story of a country -- and an industry -- beginning to break free from decades of cultural and sexual repression."--Publisher.
