One fateful day Francis Ford Coppola suggested to Robert Duvall that Duvall somehow combine his love of tango (a fifteen year affair) with his love of filmmaking.

Fascinating to Duvall no doubt, but tango, like pottery, or stamp collecting, or origami, is an acquired taste, and for a somewhat sophisticated aficionado of dance in general
