For the soundtrack recorded by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle see One from the Heart (album) One from the Heart is a 1982 musical film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It is set entirely in Las Vegas, including substantial portions on the Las Vegas Strip and the desert surrounding the city. However, the film was entirely shot on studio sound stages. The extraordinary cost of the production of this film would lead to Coppola's declaring bankruptcy. Originally intended as a small film after the enormous cost, pressures and production problems of Apocalypse Now, One from the Heart rapidly ballooned from a projected budget of $2 million to over $25 million. Rather than shooting on location, Coppola insisted on building sets, to add to the artificiality of the proscenium. Set construction proceeded to such an extent that a replica of Las Vegas' McCarran Airport—complete with a full-sized jet airliner—was built and used in a single scene. In terms of his career, Coppola has stated that the films he made during the rest of the 1980s and most of the 1990s, such as The Outsiders, The Cotton Club, Jack and The Rainmaker, were done to pay off the debts incurred by the production of One from the Heart. It features original music from Crystal Gayle and Tom Waits. Waits received an Academy Award nomination for Best Musical Score.
