Details

Joe Buck, a fringe jacketed Texan who comes to New York is convinced he can carve out a new life for himself as a male hustler. But he encounters a very different city in reality than the one he has seen on television. Instead of entertaining rich Park Avenue Ladies, Joe soon finds himself scraping a living on the fringes of Times Square and turning tricks with whoever offers him money - male or female. But when he meets Ratso Rizzo he embarks on an unlikely friendship which transcends his lonely, dog-eat-dog experiences on the mean streets of Manhattan. Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy and the MGM movie.
