The movie I would like to know the name of is about a drunken ex award winning photojournalist that is approached by a young woman admirer of his past work to teach here the trade.After much deliberation she shows him the photos on his wall of famous people and past events, he initially refuses but after much insistence on her part, agrees to go through rehab and teach her. A very memorable scene is when he takes her to a pawn shop and gives her his old Nikon F2 then some B&W film, then to the clinic where her first assignment is to document his treatment. In one scene she walks in on some procedure and are both shocked as he accidentally urinates uncontrollably and maybe onto her, she backs away in shock, he then angrily tells her she should have taken the photo to be a good photographer instead of backing away. This character could have been Nick Nolte or someone just like him but I cannot find any reference in his filmography. It was probably made in late 80's early 90's. I would love to know the name of it thank you.
