...story so far: daredevil film maker (Apocalypse Now, the Godfather films) and presumptive bankrupt Francis Ford Coppola had just fired himself out of a cannon wearing a fine black beard and a jaunty smile but perhaps (there was a lot of public relations smoke) no leotard. Would he land in a bed of rose petals thrown by critics enraptured by his new film One from the Heart? Would his feud with Paramount Pictures, which had rescued his Zoetrope Studios from financial disaster a year ago, bring down ruin on his head? Or would he succeed in his cheeky gamble...
...young, not too cute, not too Sicilian." Two girls have to be found who can talk on the phone while doing yoga headstands. One is rejected as "too Procter & Gamble"; another causes a small problem when she arrives on location without a bra under her skintight leotard.

...character in the film falls in love at least once, usually with idyllic effect. The liaisons are delightfully improbable. Antagonists Reggiani and Morgan both carry on with gorgeous lovers half their age before making a beeline for each other; Lechat's daughter (Christine Laurent) marries his partner (Philippe Leotard) right after their first blind date. Though Lelouch is too discreet to show any of these couples in bed, he composes his own eroticism out of Normandy sunlight, knowing glances and Francis Lai's typically catchy musical score...
