Description

Francis Ford Coppola is giant of American cinema.  He's won multiple Academy Awards and experienced a string of nearly unprecedented successes in the 1970s.  Coppola has too many films to cover in one episode, so we are tackling him in a two-parter.  Part 1 covers Coppola from the beginning to Apocalypse Now.
