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.
