Hawks (1988) - p6/11 / Timothy Dalton, Janet McTeer, Anthony Edwards

Hawks (1988) directed by Robert Ellis Miller. Original music by Barry Gibbs. Timothy Dalton (Bancroft) and Anthony Edwards (Deck) are wonderful in their respective roles of the two cancer patients who decide to enjoy themselves while they still can. This is also a chance to see the fabulous Janet mcteer in a very early role. NOTE! My apologies for the quality of this video! Synopsis: Two terminally ill cancer patients meet in a terminal ward in the Charing Cross, London hospital. One is an American(Anthony Edwards)a football player on tour who has just been diagnosed and is put into a room with another patient(Timothy Dalton), an English attorney who want to go out swinging.The young men have a period of remission coming up and decide to escape to have a last hurrah. Despite their conflicts, their health, militant nursing sisters, and all constraints with the English law regarding ambulances, together they depart for a momentous trek across the channel to Amsterdam. On their way to Holland, they meet two very funny women Hazel (Janet mcteer) and Maureen (Camille Codori), the best friends from London on their own trek: that, to reunite Hazel with the father of the baby she's pregnant with. Bancroft and Deck had gone to Amsterdam in quest of a brothel - the girls in quest of a balding Hollander. What they all find instead is something completely different.
