Flops And Follies: Why Was Michael’s Cimino “Heaven’s Gate” A Flop And A Failure?

This assignment requires the students to construct an argument and back it up with evidence from readings, class materials and their own research. Students will choose from a variety of box office flops and follies and

outline potential methods whereby these projects could have been salvaged during a crucial juncture in the production process. Candidates for investigation include Orson Welles (Magnificent Ambersons, Touch of Evil), John Huston (Red Badge of Courage), Terry Gilliam (Don Quixote), Michael Cimino (Heaven’s Gate), Elaine May (Ishtar), John Cassavetes (A Child Is Waiting), Charlie Chaplin (Monsieur Verdoux), Steven Soderbergh (Che) and others we will discuss in class.
