  • The dancers of the Fandango Ballroom perform a sultry routine for their new customers.
    What is Sweet Charity (1969) about?
    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.

      I don't see desperation. I see them as turning up for a job they hate and getting it over with in a mechanical and businesslike manner. But (to me, anyway) they seem in charge, somehow.
      But I agree the choreography is amazing! I'm pretty sure the choreographer is Bob Fosse. I love the details with the hands!

    Whoa! How did I not know about this until today? This is amazing - it's like a hit to the face. The bored mannequin zombie feel to the dangers' moves- the blank look in their eyes - the way everyone moves together with pretended sensuality but more like machinery rather than people - and the way they all sing the song so so perfectly - the whole thing is mesmerising!

    Este número es sencillamente genial, en fondo y forma. Lo siento, pero ya no se hacen musicales así.

    LOVE the contrast of the BIG SPENDER lyric to the glass of BEER in the foreground shot, very much. 1:22

    Have been trying for ages to recall the name of the movie with Shirley MacLaine in which this Hey Big Spender dance sequence featured. Thank you! Now to find Sweet Charity to rewatch.
