Inspired by Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", the production of "Apocalypse Now" (1979) proved to be almost as dramatic as the original story. It took three years to complete, Coppola had to fund it himself as the budget over-ran and Martin Sheen had a heart attack and almost died! Now regarded as a classic, the film contains a number of memorable vignettes and signalled America's reluctant willingness finally to confront the trauma of Vietnam. The poster admirably conveys the sense of a descent into the unknown utilising the demonic face of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Bob Peak's original artwork featured all three leads (Sheen, Brando and Duvall), but Duvall's image was exorcised after a dispute with Coppola.
