longtime lurker Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I have read that book. He had a rather discreet and relatively quiet life. Although he had some brushes with the law in regards to drunk driving charges, few knew of his relationships with other men until AFTER he was murdered on Halloween Eve, 1968. Then the trial the following summer became front page news as "scandalous", ironically the same summer that the Stonewall riots was mostly being suppressed in mainstream news reporting as just a bunch of "queers" causing trouble with authorities. The world was a very different place then, certainly one that Mike Pence, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and others of their kind would prefer over today. Curious coincidence that isn't discussed much... MIDNIGHT COWBOY would become the first (and last so far) Best Picture Oscar winner to be X-rated (although hardly deserving of a PG today). Today, film historians view it "of its time" because the urban world of male hustling looks foreign today on account of how much sex life (both hetero and otherwise) was kept private and the main characters have plenty of "inner homophobia" expressed. (Key scene: Brenda Vacarro's character asks "Joe" Jon Voight if he is "gay" and that horrible thought is what allows him to prove his manhood with her as a "normal" heterosexual and earn his much needed twenty bucks. Note how he never makes an income doing things the more "sinful" way, especially with the lonely teenager in the theater.) Its filming was in 1968 and its release to theaters in May 1969, only a month before Stonewall in June and the Novarro murder trial beginning in early July, exposing his very secret life... a life so many others from Rock Hudson to Richard Chamberlain were still keeping secret. Since the bulk of MIDNIGHT COWBOY's filming was completed before the Novarro murder, I have often wondered of the actual timing of that scene of Joe strangling the devout Catholic sixty-something businessman (although they don't make it clear if he was actually murdered despite Dustin Hoffman's Rico questioning on the bus later). Of course, the scene is quite different than the Novarro situation in many ways, but the character has some of the same issues, even not going through The Act with Joe because he considered it such a horrible "sin". Although MIDNIGHT COWBOY might be judged as a rather timid film by today's standards, it still broke some barriers and director John Schlesinger later went on to make SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY.
