...snow job, however, may be on Pontiac. The 2,000 members of the press will stay in suburban Dearborn, 30 miles from the dome and Bourbon Street North; concerts by Frank Sinatra, Motor City-born Diana Ross and Rocker Rod Stewart in the pregame week are to be held in downtown Detroit; 1,200 buses will cart fans from outlying locations to and quickly from the game.

James Goldstein as Orsino, the duke who pines for the love of Olivia (Gaye Williams), is a Casablanca Bogart, white dinner jacket and all. The allusion makes his slow transition to lovesick goon particularly hilarious when he takes to staring soulfully into space, smoking cigarettes from a gold case and obliviously blowing clouds of smoke into the face of Viola (Caroline Isenberg), who, from under her disguise as his servant, gazes just as wistfully...
