To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the day of its UK release, this ground breaking film tells of the unlikely friendship of naïve prostitute Joe Buck (Jon Voight) and ailing con-man ‘Ratso’ Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman).
The film won three Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, and was the first X-rated and LGBT film to win Best Picture. It is listed in the top 100 greatest films of all time.
This event will be introduced by Sue Schlesinger, sister-in-law to the film's director, John Schlesinger.
