...defendants together are likely to empty the public coffers of an extra $7 million to $10 million, rendering it the costliest state prosecution in the history of the U.S. The figure makes the two trials of California Mass Murderer Juan Corona ($4.6 million) and the "Hillside Stranglings" case of Angelo Buono ($1.6 million) seem like bargains. The Wayne Williams trial in Atlanta and the related police investigation into the slayings of 29 young blacks ran upwards of $2.5 million...
...Measure is the story of Angelo, the Duke of Vienna's deputy, who is given the task of enforcing the city's disregarded laws while the Duke is away traveling. In the course of purging the city of its sins, Angelo condemns to death a young gentleman, Claudio, for getting his finance, Juliet, with child.

Even such tired schticks as the magic fingers bed gone haywire, the supermacho highway patrolman sniveling over a small animal, and the kids catching mom and dad making whoopie, bring a laugh because Chase and Beverly D'Angelo (Mrs. Cariswold) do not try to overplay the scenes...
