Fosse’s Broadway smash — a musical version of Fellini’s NIGHTS OF CABIRIA — became his feature film debut, with Shirley MacLaine taking Gwen Verdon’s stage role of Charity Hope Valentine, the dancehall hostess with a heart of gold. Fosse transfers his Tony-winning choreography to the Scope screen, with highlights including “There’s Got to Be Something Better Than This” — performed by MacLaine, Chita Rivera and Paula Kelly on a Manhattan rooftop — “Big Spender,” “If They Could See Me Now,” and Fossian takeoffs on chic disco dances and psychedelia. With Sammy Davis Jr., Ricardo Montalbán and GUYS AND DOLLS’ Stubby Kaye. Screenplay by Neil Simon.
