What you see is pretty blooming spectacular. From the first shot-a long track down a densely designed and populated Vegas street that leads to the travel agency window where Frannie (Teri Garr) looms like Kong over a toy Manhattan skyline-you are advised that One from the Heart means to set reality and artifice into felicitous collision.

"What's unusual is that most of the music will have been written before they shoot," he explains. "So I'm working closely with Francis on the story and on the development of the songs.
