This week, we discuss two films from the early 1980s set in two of America’s casino cities.
The first is Atlantic City (1980), directed by acclaimed French director Louis Malle. The film, which stars Burt Lancaster and Susan Sarandon, was nominated for 5 Academy Awards.
The second is One from the Heart (1982), Francis Ford Coppola’s disastrous follow-up project after Apocalypse Now (1979). The film, which was shot entirely on sets constructed at Coppola’s Zoetrope Studios, lost over 20 million dollars and ultimately bankrupted both Coppola and his studio.
