That Charlie Rose interview is really interesting ... "The Capeman" was such a good concept, and the story is close to my heart, as I used it as one example in my MA thesis, but the production is still considered one of the worst flops of all time ($11 million dollar loss). I could write another thesis as to why, but interesting to see them all talk about it (and wasn't Mr. Morris the 5th director at that point?) before the savage reviews.
