Midnight Cowboy, the classic 1969 John Schlesinger (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York City male prostitution melodrama ("Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a naive Texan who moves to New York to become a male prostitute for wealthy women, and ends up in a close relationship with a male street hustler) starring Dustin Hoffman (as Ratso Rizzo), Jon Voight (as Joe Buck), Brenda Vaccaro, John McGiver, Ruth White, Sylvia Miles (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), This was the first (and only) adult movie to win a Best Picture Oscar. Dustin Hoffman not winning the Best Actor Academy Award has to be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the Oscars!
This is a genuine, original Australian One-sheet film poster in Very Good to Fine condition, linen-backed and restored by Flicks Film Posters in 2025. Prior to linen-backing and restoration the poster was in Very Good condition, with just the original folds and the most minor surface paper loss at the fold lines. The poster responded superbly to the linen-backing process and it now looks fantastic.

POSTER CONDITION & GRADING
This is a genuine, original US One-sheet film poster in Good to Very Good condition, linen-backed and restored by Flicks Film Posters in 2024. Prior to linen-backing and restoration the poster was in Good condition, with the original folds and some surface paper loss at the fold lines. There was damage and paper loss at the fold intersection over Jane Fonda’s eye. This was restored and the poster now displays well, although you can still see signs of the previous flaws and the restoration of those flaws. However, from any reasonable viewing distance the poster looks great.
