A notorious BoxOfficeBomb, this film is considered to have contributed to the end of the UsefulNotes/NewHollywood era and marred Coppola's career; for a long time, he had to make movies specifically to pay off the debts he accrued with this one (from the heart).

Added DiffLines:

* AdvertisingByAssociation: One of the taglines seems to subtly lampshade the inherent weirdness of Coppola doing a romantic story. "From the director of ''Literature/TheGodfather I & II'' and ''Film/ApocalypseNow''... a unique vision of love."

Added DiffLines:

* DoubleMeaningTitle: "One from the Heart" is one of the songs in this love story. But also, considering that this was a passion project for Coppola, one could say this film truly came from his heart.


Added DiffLines:

* TheMusical: Not a traditional musical, as nearly all the songs (sung by Creator/TomWaits and Crystal Gayle) play over the movie instead of being performed by the characters. Leila is the only one to get an actual musical number, "Little Boy Blue".

!!Tropes:
* HarmlessElectrocution: There's a very cartoony scene where Hank is trying to get into Ray's house to get Frannie and he gets electrocuted by some lights. He simply keeps going, completely unharmed, once it stops.
* OverTheShoulderCarry: Hank forcefully takes Frannie away from Ray by breaking into his bedroom and hoisting her naked over his shoulder, a treatment which Frannie vehemently protests.
* RaceForYourLove: Towards the end, Frannie decides to board a plane with Ray to go to Bora Bora, and Hank races to the airport to try to stop her.
