Shot entirely at Coppola's Zoetrope Studios, the film stars Frederic Forrest (Hank) and Teri Garr (Frannie) as an unhappy couple breaking up on their five-year anniversary. Frannie is courted by a piano player/waiter, Ray (Raul Julia), who promises to take her away on a much-needed vacation. Hank and his friend Moe (Harry Dean Stanton) encounter a beautiful circus performer, Leila (Natassja Kinski), who Hank manages to get a date with. The two couples dance their way through the streets of Las Vegas on Fourth of July evening to the songs of Tom Waits, sung by Crystal Gayle and Waits. But Frannie and Hank find it hard to forget each other, and the mood and music of the film lead the couple toward melancholy romances. In the controlled studio environment, Coppola was able to use video as an innovative aid to filmmaking and postproduction. [More]

Razzle-dazzle gimmickry and photographic techniques dwarf the trivial story.

Variety Staff

A hybrid musical romantic fantasy, lavishing giddy heights of visual imagination and technical brilliance onto a wafer-thin story of true love turned sour, then sweet.

At times the project seems in danger of being scuppered by its own lavishness; the saving grace is a light heart.

Janet Maslin

There's not a moment in One From the Heart when Mr. Coppola isn't after something romantic and glorious, something inexpressibly grand. At times, he even gets what he's after.

Rob Nelson

With more than 200 salaried employees on a 10-acre lot that included 9 soundstages, 34 editing suites, and a gigantic trailer that the mogul dubbed the Silver Fish, Coppola videotaped rehearsals in an effort to cut down on film costs. Alas...

... simultaneously ahead of its time and delightfully quaint, a simple romantic comedy that revels in the dreamy artifice of a meticulously re-created fantasy Las Vegas.

It's even worse now, when its perms and polyester mark it as dated as its sexual politics.

A 1982 curio about feeling, not the weighty machinations of plot... but one that offers only moments of studied amusement, not rapt absorption.

If any film from the 1980s needs to be re-examined, it's Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart.

One From the Heart is aptly named. No one will mistake it for One From the Brain.
