...film's title refers to a NASA mission to send a trio of astronauts (James Brolin, O.J. Simpson, Sam Waterston -don't you love it?) to Mars. Unfortunately for the astronauts, NASA is headed by a devilish schemer (Hal Holbrook) who decides to fake the Mars landing in a TV studio rather than risk failure and a cutoff of appropriations. Predictably, the mad scientist's plans go wrong, wrong, wrong. Capricorn One turns into a vivid chase involving NASA henchmen, an investigative reporter (Elliott Gould), a crop-dusting pilot (Telly Savalas) and a couple of bloodsucking desert...

An example is the New York Shakespeare Festival's production of Hamlet in 1975.

"I could never be a real astronaut and sit in that tiny capsule for days," declares the Juice. "I have too much energy." He likes acting though, and plans to try it full time when he retires from...
what our seemers be," says Duke Vincentio (Sam Waterston) as he sets out, disguised as a friar, to play God like some sadistic schoolboy among the seamy souls who inhabit his city. Vincentio wants to re-establish law-and-order, but he leaves the governing to Angelo, a celebrated Puritan played like a young Robespierre by John Cazale. Angelo believes in absolute justice but soon declines into lechery and official murder. Meanwhile the city fathers can't even clear the streets of prostitutes. A black pimp, brilliantly played in high camp by Howard Rollins Jr., asks, "Does your worship...
