In Memorian of Bob Fosse & Frederico Felini. "I don't pop my cork for just any guy."
Edited on Sun Dec-07-08 10:15 PM by Just A Yeller Dawg
They are playing Sweet Charity on HDMV right now and my previous accolades to Fosse memorians was Chorus Line. This is from '69 and I had missed it. The "Hey Big Spender" piece was freaking amazing.

They were SO far ahead of his time.

Edited to include the writer after visiting IMDb.

2. One of my favorites. I just did a bit of research on this
and after thinking he was a bit like Fellini, I read that this was written by Fellini.

4. Sweet Charity inspired by "Nights of Cabiria"
Love them both. One of my favorite numbers from Sweet Charity is "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This" ...very appropriate lyrics for today's mood.

5. Not really written by Fellini...
but inspired by Nights of Cabiria.

Cabaret is the best Fosse movie though, and All That Jazz is number two in my book.
