57 Years Later, the Only X-Rated Movie to Win Best Picture Is Getting a Stunning New Release
“I’m walkin’ here!” — The iconic line, often referenced in other media, was spoken by Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo confronts a taxi cab in the Best Picture winner Midnight Cowboy(1969). Based on the book of the same name by James Leo Herlihy and adapted by formerly blacklisted screenwriter Waldo Salt, Midnight Cowboy captured the uncertainty of an era. Anyone who has seen the film knows it’s as uncomfortable as it is unforgettable.
