One sentence plot summary: A simple minded Texas boy moves to New York City to make it rich as a male prostitute and befriends a local con artist.
Starring: John Voight, Dustin Hoffman
Best of: Superb acting by both leads.
Worst of: Dated artistic choices that keep the film locked in 1969:
Notable: The film signifies the major cultural shifts that were taking place in the country. It is the first Oscar winner to show nudity or to deal with drugs or homosexuality. Originally rated X, it couldn't have been much further from the previous years G rated family-friendly musical.
