Simpson was in when he was trying for an acting career. If I recall, the old movie adage "the brother always gets it first" was in play here and O.J. got bumped off relatively early in the proceedings.<br /><br />"The Parallax View" seemed utterly believable to me at the time (it was in the mid-1970s and I was in my teens). I saw it a few months back on TCM and it seemed a little too paranoid--and I was surprised at how dark, almost grungy, the lighting was.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-53317755759851014932010-05-01T14:44:02.598+01:002010-05-01T14:44:02.598+01:00I seem to remember that the critics weren't ki...I seem to remember that the critics weren't kind to this movie, but I thought it was a lot of fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-6622482323806314192010-05-01T06:45:00.566+01:002010-05-01T06:45:00.566+01:00Interesting review, Martin.

Peter Hyams a Brit?<br />'The Parallax View' was frightening - real sense of claustrophobia, with the bad 'uns closing in! Contained a rare good perf from Warren Beatty, also (mostly a plank, IMHO ... ;-)!).Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031126325323208656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-81658651842494134532010-05-01T03:43:53.309+01:002010-05-01T03:43:53.309+01:00Martin - Oh, how funny you would mention that movi...Martin - Oh, how funny you would mention that movie! I first saw <i>Capricorn One</i> on a date years ago when it first came out, and hadn't thought of it for a long time. I agree that's an enjoyable conspiracy theory movie, if implausible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
