There is a Philly radio station that does a daily feature called "Rewind" where they do a this-day-in-history for showbiz. July 30, 1969, "Midnight Cowboy" was officially released in LA, (it had an earlier premiere in NYC) and 1972, "Deliverance". Coincidentally both starred Jon Voight. Two of my favorite all-time movies; great acting, great stories. Probably Burt Reynolds best acting. Voight was "discovered" in Midnight Cowboy and solidified his place in acting with Deliverance. Midnight Cowboy showed Hoffman's versatility after "The Graduate".
