Here's one of those special rare films, which makes you consider your possibilities, if an ailing patient. Interesting duo, flamboyant Dalton, and his young prodige, neurotic Edwards, a much sicker party meet in the dull depressing interiors of a teriminal ward, with the not so understanding of staff. They finally decide to take off, and it's not like they're imprisoned. This quickly forming friendship, sees our two, seeking some sexual adventures, where a foursome develops, Dalton's ex, earlier, not really wanting anything to do with him. They're are highs and lows in Hawks, but that's the reality of the sick and dying, Edwards firey vehicular entrance, at the start, makes a nice cool opening, where I recollected a scene in another movie. There are wonderful performances, but Dalton is the life of the film, taking his character to the hilt, and enjoying the hell out of it. Really admired the beautiful surprise ending, a slick move. Highly reccommended drama comedy from the get go, Dalton making it memorable.
