The classic action movie Francis Ford Coppola couldn't stand

Summary
Cinema has always been a business of risk and reward, and few filmmakers have experienced the best (and worst) of both worlds like Francis Ford Coppola. Undoubtedly one of American cinema’s greatest-ever directors, Coppola has multiple masterpieces to his name that have transcended generations. The Godfather, its sequel, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation are all stone-cold classics that deserve every bit of the adulation that’s been thrown their way since they were first released, but the auteur wasn’t one to take the easy route. No stranger to troubled productions, Coppola inadvertently made things worse for himself when he tried to push the medium forward. One from the Heart and The Cotton Club were the results of what happens when a creative puts everything on the line to realise their vision and try to usher in a revolution, and all he had to show for it at the end of the day was financial misery and bankruptcy.
