Midnight Cowboy which had a similar scene with Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman in it.

And let's not forget the boots. Everytime I see this topic come up, no one mentions the boots!

Jerry is running around New York City in boots . . . Jon Voigt was runnning around New York City in boots . . .

Jerry held Kramer . . . Jon Voigt held Hoffman . . .

It's the little things I love.

Did someone beat up Jon Voight because of his boots in "Midnight Cowboy?"

And... let's not forget Elaine at the dentist's party (temporarily deafened from being trapped under the horn of a Dixieland band all afternoon) -- everybody's talking at her, she can't hear a word they're saying...

You're right. I didn't catch the boot tie-in.

It was a spoof on Midnight Cowboy which starred Dustin Hoffman and Jo(h)n Voight as two homosexuals. They were cowboys, and Voight wore cowboy boots, a fact reflected in Jerry's wearing of the cowboy boots when Kramer takes all of his tennis shoes for cleaning at the mom and pop cobbler. Also, Hoffman's character in the movie is sick, and experiences nose bleeds, I think. I've never actually seen Midnight Cowboy, but I know it was a much talked about movie.

The song on Midnight Cowboy was "Everybody's talkin at me, I can't hear a word they're sayin', only the echoes of my mind...." Just a quick question. Was this also the episode where Elaine's co-worker can't hear anyone, and therfore escapes work? If so, it's a direct reference to the Midnight Cowboy theme song, which I believe won an Academy Award that year.....

Actually, they weren't homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that!), and they weren't cowboys. Voight plays a bumpkin hoping to become a gigolo in New York City, who suffers devastating misadventures before meeting an unlikely friend in tubercular con artist Ratzo Rizzo, played by Hoffman. The acting was great, as was the musical score. The photography and editing were kind of non-linear and strange, like in some of Oliver Stone's recent films, but the emotions were really brought home. This is turning into a plug, I guess, but it's a truly great flick IMHO, highly recommended!
