One from the Heart ★★ 1982 (R)

The film more notable for sinking Coppola's Zoetrope Studios than for its cinematic context. Garr and Forrest are a jaded couple who seek romantic excitement with other people. An extravagant (thus Coppola's finance problems) fantasy Las Vegas set, pretty to look at but does little to enhance the weak plot. Score by Waits, a much-needed plus. 100m/C VHS, DVD . Teri Garr, Frederic Forrest, Nastassja Kinski, Raul Julia, Lainie Kazan, Rebecca De Mornay, Harry Dean Stanton; D: Francis Ford Coppola; W: Armyan Bernstein, Francis Ford Coppola; M: Tom Waits, Robert Alcivar.
