Double Feature: Midnight Cowboy and Fritz The Cat

Double Feature: MIDNIGHT COWBOY, 1969, Park Circus/MGM, 113 min. Dir. John Schlesinger. A shocking, poignant study of being down and out in the Big Apple. Jon Voight as hustler Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo give touchstone performances of the New Hollywood era. Winner of three Oscars, including Best Picture.
FRITZ THE CAT, 1972, Park Circus/MGM, 78 min. Dir. Ralph Bakshi. Slapped with the first X rating for an animated feature, FRITZ charts the odyssey of a dropout tomcat through 1960s over-indulgence – humping, hash, hippies and Hell’s Angels – as writer R. Crumb originally chronicled it in his comics. No one under 17 admitted.
