I never saw the 1978 film "Nighthawks". I was too young to see it when it came out and it never plays here at all anymore. I heard you have to had seen the first film to totally enjoy this--but I don't think so. I caught it many years ago at a gay film festival and had no problem understanding it. It's about making the film, the problems they had and there are a few clips from the movie itself. Also in a very moving part the director talks about realizing he was gay at an early age and how he had to keep it a secret. I saw this well over 10 years ago but that section has never left me. The part about him following a young boy he has a crush on home from school is heart-breaking. An excellent documentary. I'm not sure if it's available anywhere but worth seeing if you get a chance.
