Sweet Charity

Director: Bob Fosse Studio: Universal Year: 1969
Stars: Shirley MacLaine, John McMartin, Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, Stubby Kaye, Sammy Davis Jr.   Video: A video is generally available. A DVD is to be released in March 2003.
Description:
A fine screen version of the great stage musical, telling the story of a taxi dancer with a repeatedly broken heart. This was Fosse's directorial début   and he makes sure that the dance numbers have the same hammerblow impact as his work on stage. Apparently the VHS tape shows the musical numbers in widescreen format.
Notes on songs: Two new songs were written for the film: My Personal Property and It's a Nice Face. The lyric for Sweet Charity was reset to a new Cy Coleman tune.

The soundtrack was released on CD in 2003.
