Shirley MacLaine gives one of her greatest performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon's smash Broadway hit. Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.

Reviews

While it is no match for Cabaret, the inimitable Fosse flourish adorns a handful of first-rate musical numbers.

Daily Mail (UK)

Fresh

It’s thoroughly dated, but that’s part of its enduring charm — as is Shirley MacLaine!

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Fresh

While the film can drag, the musical numbers are still so sweet and bold and genre-defining that I found myself tearing up during this rewatch.

Penelope Houston

Rotten

If Charity, played by Shirley MacLaine in her sharpest innocent-at-large style, really wants to escape, it's hard to see what is holding her back.

Alternate Ending

Fresh

There's nothing per se "bad" about this, though it's awfully musty, and in no hurry to move along.
