William Petersen in Hard Promises (1991)



William Petersen in Hard Promises (1991)

A very satisfying romantic comedy, starting two very capable (if a bit unexpected) leads. However what elevate this film from a light entertainment to a touching human drama is the final scene where the father (Mr. Petersen) had a private moment with his young daughter by the river. The exchange is filled with hope, happiness and bottled sorrow, and it was tenderly played by the actor and quietly filmed by the director. Solely on this heartmelt moment along I would highly recommend this film to check out.

Mr. Petersen's shiftlessness is really just more garnish to the already wonderful film, and boy does his butt look great in those jeans!
