Don't worry, you're not alone with Ishtar. That's the one that, I believe, sunk quickly out of sight as soon as it was released, and took an entire studio with it, wasn't it?

You're thinking, I think, of Heaven's Gate, which almost buried Columbia Pictures. Steven Gaines has written a book about it, the title escapes me and I've not had the chance to read it, but I'm told it tells a rather amazing story of hubris the sort which was, at the time, unprecedented even in Hollywood...
