A humid trip to Cleveland was like the final scene in Midnight Cowboy.
Every once in a while I watch Midnight Cowboy, not because of its life-affirming message, but because it’s so grim I can’t turn away. The final minutes in which would-be prostitute Joe Buck (John Voight) carts a dying Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) by bus to Florida is played for such pathos it’s almost shameful. Tacky visions of Ratso in some sort of pimp costume, dancing on the beach with girls, is all that keeps them going.
The film dredges up memories of the time my brother and I made the four-hour car trip from London, Ont. to Cleveland around Lake Erie by way of Detroit. We’d dared each other to appear on a long-running Cleveland TV program, The Big Chuck and Li’l John Show, which offered horror movies, eccentric comedy and plenty of opportunities for audience participation. We packed a VCR in the trunk so we could record the program when it ran that night.
