"A picaresque story of friendship that captured a city in crisis and sparked a new era of Hollywood movies. Joe Buck, a wide-eyed hustler from Texas hoping to score big with wealthy city women finds a companion in Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo, an ailing swindler with a bum leg and a quixotic fantasy of escaping to Florida. A critical and commercial success despite controversy, [it] became the first X-rated film to receive the best picture Oscar, and decades on, its influence still reverberates through cinema"--Container.
