An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More)

Midnight Cowboy, the classic 1969 John Schlesinger (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York CIty male prostitution melodrama ("Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a naive Texan who moves to New York to become a male prostitute for wealthy women, and ends up in a close relationship with a male street hustler) starring Dustin Hoffman (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Ratso Rizzo), Jon Voight (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Joe Buck), Brenda Vaccaro, John McGiver, Ruth White, Sylvia Miles (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Barnard Hughes, Viva, Gastone Rossilli, Ultra Violet, and Bob Balaban. This was the first (and only) adult movie to win a Best Picture Oscar. Dustin Hoffman not winning the Best Actor Academy Award is certainly the biggest mistake in the history of the Academy Awards!

Important Added Info: Note that the window card from this movie is FAR more rare than the one-sheet (we have only auctioned four window cards from this movie in all our years of auctioning!). Perhaps this was because few shops wanted to display an X-rated poster in their window! Also note that in a bizarre typo, this window card has a "1965" copyright in the lower left (it has the correct 1969 NSS number in the lower right). The other examples of this window card we have seen have the same typo, so it must have just been a case of someone not paying attention! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: very good. The card had creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges. There were some smudges and scuffs in the solid black areas. A talented restorer performed slight touch up to the card without backing it, and the card looks great!
