I recall “One from the Heart”, directed by Francis Ford
Coppola (American Zeotrope and Columbia) back in early 1982, as a framed love
story musical (composer is Tom Waits) promoted as being in 70 mm “Technovision”
but actually presented on a square old-fashioned 1.37:1 aspect ratio, to emphasize
the staginess.
Hank and Frannie (Frederic Forrest and Teri Garr) have an
embedded relationship on the Las Vegas circus stage which translates to real
life, rather like “I Love Lucy”. When they break up in real life, everything
comes apart; there is even a kidnapping.
This was a very odd film given its effect with the small
aspect, when I saw it at old Northpark on a large screen in Dallas. But with Coppola, you never know.
