Joe Buck is as naive as he is blue-eyed and handsome. When he arrives in a garish New York he is sure that he'll find sex, adventure and money. What the 'cowboy' finds in alien territory is just one friend - Ratso Rizzo. This odd couple strike up one of the most unusual partnerships in screen history.
John Schlesinger 's movie is intermittently sad, funny, brutal and always gripping, and features a memorable performance from Hoffman as the seedy city-dweller.
Screenplay by WALDO SALT Based on the novel by JAMES LEO HERLIHY
Produced by JEROME HELLMAN Directed by JOHN SCHLESINGER
