Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombones

As the 1970s ended, Waits felt trapped by his persona and career. But at his low point: Francis Ford Coppola asked Tom to write the score for "One From the Heart". He cleaned up, and met Kathleen Brennan. This work tells the story of a man creating that elusive American second act, and also about finding the prefect collaborator in his wife.
