All That Jazz [1979] [DVD]
W**C
A show business style drama about making a show business drama
A good drama about the making of a drama for stage and screen. I would never have considered it if it hadn't been recommended by someone I trust (we're not glitz fans by any stretch of the imagination). But, as a show about show time, with copious amounts of OTT, it was very well well acted (well mostly) and certainly the dancing outstanding (all of the principal dancers and especially lead Sandahl Bergman). Bob Fosse's choreography for the 'we start with smoke' routine was brilliantly done.The only problem was that it was much too drawn out - especially the final scene where, how should I put this, the character lingered at least 20 minutes far too long.

Weird and very disappointing, not for me!
Having just watched Fosse/Verdon on BBC, surely bound to win a handful of Tony Awards, I thought it a good idea to catch up with Bob Fosse''s autobiographical version..If you've seen the BBC series don't go anywhere near this.However, if you've seen the BBC series and you then watch this, as I did, you'll see just what a mess this is. Ugh!
