Frank,
Have you ever seen Hearts of Darkness, the documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now? I always thought Apocalypse Now was a staggering movie that fell apart at the end. I had new found appreciation for its final act after seeing Hearts of Darkness: Coppola had to suffer the afore mentioned Dennis Hopper apparently stoned out of his mind; Marlon Brando in full “wreck the picture” mode, and Martin Sheen still recovering from a heart attack. That Coppola brought back any usable footage at all in those conditions is remarkable.
