Bravo Francis! A true Artist and poetic soul.
Francis had a run of films in the 70's that is unrivalled by any other film maker
And then he blew that very run in the 80s with this very movie, "One From The Heart", lol
@@TTM9691 hahaha
I liked his 80s movie Peggy Sue Got Married "You bought an Edsel!"
@@Bringos76 Me too! Love "Tucker" and "Rumble Fish" as well! Coppola's 80's wasn't a total wash! (Outsiders, Cotton Club and One From The Heart I can do without!)
@@TTM9691 Yes!
The movie he mentions with the 40 teenagers screentesting was The Outsiders. One of my favorite movies as a kid.
While Mr. Coppola is still with us, his wife unfortunately isn't. Eleanor Coppola just passed away on April 12, 2024.
Thanks, when I saw she had died last week I thought Francis wouldn't be far behind. (long time married couples often die close together) I saw this Letterman post and immediately thought he had passed, but thankfully he's still around driving his Tucker Torpedo. 👍😉
She was a pig!
And he turned 85 on April 7th!
Who cares ? he made the movies.
@@DirtySanchez658 Since you're obviously unware of just how much his wife was involved in Francis Ford Coppola's movie making process, including her serving as her husband's personal filmmaker documenting his movies being made, then may I suggest starting at their Wikipedia pages? 🤦♂️
Love Francis. He's done so much for all of us that love and create stories. One from the Heart is magical. It recently received a new restoration. Hopefully more people will discover it as Tom Waits's score is one of the best you'll ever hear!
Don't worry he's alive. This new attention is likely due to his "long awaited" film "Megalopolis" (13 years in the making) which is finally being released this year. It's making it's debut at this years Cannes Film Festival in May ! It was re-written 3x, re-casted 2x & filming delayed 4x until 2022.
Longer than that. He's been talking about Megalopolis since the 80's. It's his passion project.
Who cares? What are you? His marketing rep?
@@AgentGordonCole You're not talking loud enough, Gordon.
Never Get Outta The Boat.
Tigers?

Apocalypse Now was the second or third R rated movie I saw in the theater as a kid in 1979. I was blown away by it. It seemed every year in the mid to late 70's there was movie that blew me away in one way or another. Jaws in 1975, Rocky in 1976, Star Wars, Close Encounters in 1977, Superman The Movie in 1978 and Apocalypse Now in 1979. Saw them all back then. Changed everything.
Francis Coppola is truly one of the best directors to have ever existed in film and am grateful for all he has shared for the cinematic arts! It feels so amazing to see this former 1982 interview from Letterman to see how he has progressed as a director and the work he has done 🎬
Having the honor to have worked with Coppola on Megalopolis was one moment I couldn’t ever forget. Francis is not only a wonderful director but was also a fantastic mentor for the film as I will never forget the experience I had ❤️ Sending the best wishes to Francis on his return to Cannes for promoting Megalopolis and wishing the best for all in the arts 🙌
Some of my favorite Letterman's were the early to mid 80's. the show had a very different vibe than later at CBS. Not that i didn't like the CBS days too. 😀
That ''room full of 17 year olds'' he was talking about probably included Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, and Ralph Macchio. Because he next film was 'The Outsiders.''
The leval of talent is freak 🥶🥶
You forgot Ponyboy, Tommy Howell and Cherry, Diane Lane
PHEW! I saw this worried he'd passed then googled it...he's alive. 85. Pretty good.
Terrific interview! Really looking forward to his Megalopolis film.
It's been so long, I'd like to see One From The Heart again. All I really remember is that I liked the music enough to buy the soundtrack, which miraculously I still own. But the film was such a bomb it nearly destroyed him financially according to the press.
There's a new restoration that just got released a couple of months back. It looks great! I'll always love the film. I think time has caught up with what he was doing with it.
Francis's Baghdad Bob moment
Birthday I'm hoping? Only 2 options here, like the two roads in a small town; one goes to the highway, the other goes to the graveyard. 😢
I believe they released this interview with Coppola because his latest movie was rumored to have earned its first distributor deal today.
He was talking about The Outsiders (“room of 17-yr olds”), which he was casting in Oklahoma at the time.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ dear Davey ❤❤❤❤❤
Dave in a sweater??!!
He did that in a number of episodes from the first year or two.
A banker telling him the film is not good😂
Great movies
That suit! its beautiful! What is it? Velvet??
no it's just a beige, pullover sweater
HES WHAT???????????
Irony. One From the Heart was an outstanding film, but a financial knee capper for him. Good thing he had that vinyard to fall back on.
Outstanding? It has a 51% RT rating.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH One From The Heart had a beautiful story with outstanding cinematography, editing, acting, sound design, and very catchy songs. But, if you need other people to tell you how to think, go by what RT tells you how to think instead of thinking for yourself.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMHYou can't always trust critics to understand art.
@@erwinquiachon8054Well said. I love One from the Heart too. It's the film of his I love most honestly.
Dave give some cash to Francis will you , he don't even have a boat anymore , of course there is a slim to none ,and an outside chance -you will ever see that cash again.
Old hollywood lech.
I bet FFC could take back that bet.
I bet he couldn’t, but he wishes he could.
His wife was a cow!
Francis, at age 85, sold his vineyard to finance his 120 million dollar dream project, Megalopolis. I plan on seeing it on the largest screen I can find.
I could listen to him talk for hours. A very interesting and engaging man. I love his daughter's films too.
