Midnight Cowboy
Warhol initially planned to title the film "Fuck", then "The Glory of the Fuck". Warhol and Morrissey settled on "Lonesome Cowboys" while Warhol was convalescing following the attempt on his life by Valerie Solanas. John Schlesinger was filming "Midnight Cowboy", which featured several members of Warhol's entourage, including Viva and Ultra Violet who, with Morrissey, shot a separate short film during shooting of "Midnight Cowboy"'s elaborate party scene. Warhol initially endorsed the participation of his people but grew resentful at what he perceived as Schlesinger's poaching of Warhol's scene. Warhol decided to undercut Schlesinger by naming this film "Lonesome Cowboys" as a reference to "Midnight Cowboy".
