Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy plot

“Midnight Cowboy” won three Oscars in 1970, despite its X-rating and its gritty story about a sex worker and criminal. It was a box office hit at the time. The documentary “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy,” based on the book “Shooting Midnight Cowboy,” explores not only how the film reflected the zeitgeist on various fronts, but also how coming-out filmmaker John Schlesinger managed to find and preserve tenderness among male characters against the backdrop of a decaying metropolis and growing homophobia.
