From the opening sequence of Joe Gideon auditioning hopeful young dancers, to the last, ingenious depiction of his heart attack, presented as a showbiz spectacle, this film is at times darkly fascinating and then exuberant in its depiction of a self-destructive song and dance man at the pinnacle of his craft. At the time that I first saw the film, with multiple viewings to follow, I was unfamiliar with the work of Bob Fosse - now it seems that every modern dance stage sequence has Bob Fosse DNA and this great film provides a glimpse into the often tormented soul of the man. It's Show Time Folks!
