From AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Francis Ford Coppola, ONE FROM THE HEART (1982) is one-of-a-kind – a lush and candy-colored musical drama set in Las Vegas but shot nearly entirely on soundstages, a method that the legendary director employed to create a sense of artifice. Visually stunning and evocative of the stage productions that Coppola had directed in school, the film featured production design by longtime collaborator – and AFI Honorary Degree recipient – Dean Tavoularis.
