One from the Heart is a 1982 American musical romantic drama film co-written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Raúl Juliá, Nastassja Kinski, Lainie Kazan, and Harry Dean Stanton.

They both spend a night with their idealized partners — Hank goes with Leila, a circus performer, and Frannie goes with Ray, a waiter who passes himself off as a cocktail pianist and singer.

Coppola initially rejected the offer, then bought the rights to the property through his Zoetrope Studios, with MGM remaining as a distributor for North America.

Eventually, Coppola received support from Canadian businessman Jack Singer, who agreed to lend $8 million to Zoetrope.

[9] Set construction included a replica of part of Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport—complete with a jetway and jet airliner (built from the nose section of a crashed plane)—that was used for the penultimate scene.

[15] A screening of an unfinished print in San Francisco, California in August 1981[16] resulted in many exhibitors backing out of showing the film.

[17] On January 19, 2024, in select theaters in the United States, an updated and restored version of the film, entitled One From the Heart: Reprise was released in 4K.

The website's critics consensus reads, "One from the Heart belies its reputation as a flop with Francis Ford Coppola's earnest intentions and technical virtuosity, but not even the director's ardor for the genre is enough to make audiences feel much for its characters.

"[20] Janet Maslin in The New York Times described it as an "innovative, audacious effort", but said the film lacked story and tension.

In the Los Angeles Times, Susan King praised One from the Heart as "so visually arresting, it's shocking that it wasn't well received back in 1982.

[23] Warren Clements of The Globe and Mail stated: "It has the form, style and often the content of a romantic fantasy, but the central love story is between two characters who don't seem to like each other very much.

"[24] Gene Siskel, who gave the film a thumbs up in its original run,[25] recommended it as part of "Buried Treasures" in a 1986 episode of At the Movies.
