LadyhawkeLaborious fantasy adventure from action specialist Donner set in medieval France. An evil bishop (Wood) has placed a curse on young lovers Navarre (Hauer) and Isabeau (Pfeiffer) so that, when night comes, he turns into a wolf and, upon daybreak, she into a hawk. They are destined to meet as humans only at dawn and dusk. They turn for help to their friend Gaston (Broderick), a petty crook and, with the aid of a solar eclipse,he sets out to lift the curse. Full of mystic settings and impressive set design, the hokey antics are severely let down by a shallow script.
