Although some material did remain moderately bankable, many of these efforts appeared overly tame for their day and vanished as quickly as they were produced, all too often becoming forgotten, abandoned, or otherwise lost to time. Presented here are three very distinct, striking examples of long-believed lost sexploitation cinema, all produced in New York in the early '70s, and at last resurrected and restored in 4K for their home video debuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eTHE SIDEWALK COWBOY\u003c\/strong\u003e (1970, color), a wayward young man enters a spiral of confusion and misfortune as he's taken advantage of by man and woman alike in this bent riff on \u003cem\u003eMidnight Cowboy\u003c\/em\u003e.
