Movie Reviews of Sweet Charity
Movie Review: Sweet Snap Shot of the 1960's
Summary: 3 Stars
A film more for those who experienced the 1960's. A fairly light hearted musical flick with Sammy Davis Jnr being the show stealer in the "Big Daddy" number - one I remembered very well from a young child. The dance numbers are well staged and the costumes colourful (except for Miss "Plain Jane" Sweet Charity herself) - the totally impossible beehive hairdo's. So much of the music I knew - and that you'll probably will too - you never realized it was from this movie/show.
Summary of Sweet Charity
Loves a dream to a hostess in a seedy new york dance hall. From the neil simon play. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 03/04/2003 Starring: Shirley Maclaine John Mcmartin Run time: 149 minutes Rating: G Director: Bob FosseAfter several years as the hottest musical director on Broadway, Bob Fosse made his film directorial debut with this movie version of his Broadway hit, which was based on Fellini's Nights of Cabiria. Shirley MacLaine is terrific as the proverbial hooker with the heart of gold, one who is convinced that she will find the right man if she just turns enough tricks. The Cy Coleman score is a solid one; the film is at its best when Fosse lets his cast of singer-dancers (which includes Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, and Sammy Davis Jr.) unleash his leggy brand of choreography. While the film suffers from stylistic excesses of the period, you can see the seeds being planted for Fosse's future musical film forays in Cabaret and All That Jazz. --Marshall Fine
