Three Sheet (41" x 79") ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine+ on Linen
United Artists, 1969

Co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight are depicted full-length on this general-release three sheet, which was printed on two panels and professionally linen-backed. This example has light touch-up in just a few small areas on the folds, and the borders have intermittent airbrushing to address separation and wear at the ends of various folds, as well as a few chips, creases, and edge tears.

"Midnight Cowboy" is a drama directed by John Schlesinger. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman as the ailing con man "Ratso" Rizzo and Jon Voight as naïve hustler Joe Buck, the film follows their unlikely friendship amid the loneliness of New York City, with supporting roles from Sylvia Miles, John McGiver, and others. It won three Academy Awards-Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay-and remains the only X-rated film to win Best Picture.

Estimate: $300 - 600
