The Film Programme - Heaven's Gate

With Francine Stock

Heaven's Gate is a symbol of Hollywood excess and financial mismanagement. One of the biggest disasters in film history, Michael Cimino's epic is said to have killed the studio that produced it, United Artists. Francine scours through the archives to hear from two its chief protagonists, head of production Steven Bach and director Michael Cimino.
