Editor's Letter: A Conversation With Director and Hotelier Francis Ford Coppola

"Tell us about your first hotel in Belize, Blancaneaux Lodge. A Canadian gentleman originally owned it. He married this young lady, but she slept with everyone she met and he became very upset and decided to take her to a remote part of the world. He chose this beautiful forest in Belize, really in the middle of nowhere, because he thought by isolating her he could keep her under control. But he also built five little cabins, and the problem was whoever was staying there she'd go and sleep with them."
