One from the Heart is a 1982 musical film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It starred Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Raul Julia, Nastassja Kinski, and Lainie Kazan The characters themselves do not actually sing but the powerful score dominates the movie. It is set entirely in Las Vegas, on the Las Vegas Strip and the desert surrounding the city. Though the film realistically evokes the feeling of being on the busy Las Vegas Strip, there were no location shots used in the film. Instead, it was shot on studio sound stages, with the single exception of one space on the back lot for a "Las Vegas... junkyard" set, described by a character in the film as being "the garden of the Taj Mahal". The evening of July 4, in Las Vegas, Hank and Frannie break up while celebrating their 5 year anniversary, due to Hank's insensitivity to Frannie's yearning for adventure and excitement. They both spend a night with their idealized partner—Leila, a nubile and beautiful circus girl , for Hank, and Ray, a dark, handsome musician , for Frannie.
