After completing
Apocalypse Now,
Francis Ford Coppola initially planned for his next picture to be an intimate romantic musical shot on a low budget in Las Vegas. Three years later,
One from the Heart had mushroomed into a big-budget spectacular, shot on strikingly stylized sets at his newly opened Zoetrope Studio and costing a then-massive $27 million. The story concerns Hank (
Frederick Forrest) and Franny (
Terri Garr), a working-class couple living on the outskirts of Las Vegas; after five years together, their relationship has fallen into a rut, and they both set off in search of new partners. Hank meets up with Leila (
Nastassia Kinski), a beautiful high-wire artist, and Franny has a fling with Ray (
Raul Julia), a dashing actor-waiter. But Hank and Franny still love each other, and their search for romance brings them back into each other's arms. Singer/songwriter
Tom Waits received an Oscar nomination for his widely acclaimed song score, performed with country crooner
Crystal Gayle.
