John Schlesinger’s beloved classic about a hustler moving from Texas to New York and having his naivety quickly knocked out of him might skirt the edges of romanticism, but remains a film with a hard edge. Barry’s reflective theme, conjuring up a distant Americana, proved the perfect counterweight to the big city sounds of Harry Nilsson, Elephant’s Memory and The Groop.
