Original 1969 U.S. release 11" x 14" Lobby Card set of 8 color cards from John Schlesinger's disturbing academy-award winning: "MIDNIGHT COWBOY" starring Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman, Sylvia Miles, John McGiver & Brenda Vaccaro.
Brief Synopsis: A "cowboy," Joe Buck, moves to New York City from Texas to make his fortune as a hustler servicing rich Park Avenue women. Shortly after arriving, he is hustled by homeless con man Ratzo Rizzo, who had said he would manage him for a $20 fee. Bent on getting his money back, Buck finds the rapidly deteriorating Rizzo, ends up feeling sorry for him, and moving into Rizzo's room in an abandoned building to care for him. The two remain hopeful of striking it rich with Rizzo managing Buck's career, but it soon becomes obvious that they are no match for the urban jungle.
This highly sought after lobby card set is in FINE condition and they have a small censorship stamp in each top left corner, plus "R" above the lower credits. There are tiny pin holes on some of the cards, each card has a staple hole in the lower right border. Card # 3 has had a small piece of tape removed from the top right image area (visible).
