Link Ch. 8 – Final Cut: The Making and Unmaking of Heaven’s Gate

Michael Cimino’s epic failure of a motion picture Heaven’s Gate is credited with/blamed for sinking the United Artists film studio.  Some claim it was a masterpiece.  Me?  My wife-to-be and I saw it on our first date back in 1981.  The date was fine, the movie was awful.
