- Charity (Shirley MacLaine), Nickie (Chita Rivera) and Helene sing about their hopes and dreams of a life beyond the Fandango Ballroom.
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.

Rest in Heaven, Paula and Chita 💃🏽💃🏿💔. I always admire your dancing skills.
I second that.
Every song in this musical was a masterpiece.
RIP Chita Rivera. This very scene is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear about her and one of the reasons that Sweet Charity is one of my very favorite musicals!
Those three ladies worked their buns off to get Fosse's choreography down. But they are such pros the work doesn't show.
One of the finest pieces of choreography til this day. Paula and Chita definitely pushed Shirley in these scenes to brilliant she definitely holds her own. It's also amazing seeing Beyonce paying respect to Mr. Fosse in her put a ring on it video. These 3 women were a class and each brilliantly chosen for their roles in this masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
OMG!!! this is first class real talent, these ladies are the best of the best!! Each of these woman are at the top of thier game, but that PAula Kelly and her power house execution is unmatched!
Helene was actress Paula Kelly, R.I.P.
And I think she is the best dancer here!
Also a fabulous dancer and performer - Kelly, MacLaine and Rivera made one powerhouse trio, exuding delight.
@@coloraturaElise - I think Chita had more full range and flourish to her moves. Maybe we see what we look for.
All wonderful but I really loved Paula Kelly. This movie is such an amazing mix of joy and sadness. The ending always breaks me and uplifts at the same time. Amazing.
I couldn't agree more!
Shirley MacLaine is the sole survivor of this trio.
Such a great staging of this fun musical. I’m glad that it is getting the recognition it deserves - the fosse dances are awesome. But also the performances are fantastic.
Three magnificent actresses, dancers and singers! Thank you ladies!❤❤❤
more energy in this scene than in some entire movies!!
Special thanks to all credits who created this cinematic masterpiece which will never repeat again.
Broadway meets Hollywood at it's best. When it goes from Hollywood to Broadway we suffer.
When Hollywood pretends its Broadway by having well-known stars sing, we also suffer. I remember listening to the soundtrack of the Camelot movie and wondering why parts of it sucked. It's because Broadway singers always excel, but not all Hollywood performers. Some have agents who leverage their star into a TV musical. Ugh!
RIP Chita Rivera. This is the second greatest rooftop dance sequence ever filmed (the first being America from 1962's West Side Story, and I always thought Fosse was paying it a slight homage here) by three of the best dancers ever to grace Broadway. All but MacLaine are gone now, which makes me sad, but also grateful we still have their wonderful performances preserved in this clip. Chita was especially fab in this number. Que dios te bendiga, doña.
Yes❣️🙏🏾
I think you’re right. It was a chance to finally get the best of Chita Rivera’s dancing on film.
The Queen of Broadway..Chita Rivera..RIP
Chita Rivera….WHAT a force of nature!
Hey, would you consider adding Paula Kelly's name to the description? Her performance in this scene is outstanding, and she's the only actress of the three that's left out. Cheers!
Yes, it's a shame to name check Shirley and Chita while leaving out Paula
MacLaine is a national treasure.
One of my favorite movies..RIP Chita Rivera ❣️🙏🏾
watching this right after the Big Spender kind of makes me sad. They look so happy and lively in this piece. Hope they got some better lives just like they wanted.
The stamina! 😮
The black women was mesmerizing and energetic. Something about the way she moved, couldn’t keep my eyes off her. The energy she exhibited was just wow. She did the routine pure justice
Her name is Paula Kelly. May that Queen along with Queen Chita Rivera rest in peace and power.
And I just figured out that she was the youngest out of the 3
The sets choreography score performances everything!
Helene is played by the incomparable Paula Kelly.
Thank you! why wasn't her name added?
@@Infoseeker6482 I was thinking the same thing. 🙄Paula Kelly was wonderful in this film!
Is it wrong I danced this at seven? I got none of the story but all of the joy. Thank you Chita, Paula and Shirley. A girl couldn’t have asked for better role models. Shine on all three of you on any plane you choose to inhabit. 💫💖
LIke the greatest musical scenes in film, everything is superlative, sound, tune, lyrics, dancing, direction,acting, costume, and the rooftop setting. What did I leave out? Maybe if the rest of the film were as terrific as this, it would have become a movie staple like Sound of Music and Singin' in the Rain.
Magnificent!!!
Brilliant ladies! Brilliant Fosse!
You just couldn't avoid being disrespectful and not include Paula Kelly's name in the description. She was the actress who portray Helene.
Rest in Peace Chita Rivera!
You didn't bother to put Paula Kelly's name in your blurb? ???????????
I guess this UA-cam channel never heard of Paula Kelly before. 😂
RIP Chita Rivera and Paula Kelly.
Finally a quality upload!
@TUNEMusicalMoments You forgot to credit Paula Kelly as Helene. Please update. Thanks!
Вот Какой Должна Быть Настоящая Голая Вечеринка!!!!!!!!!!!)))))
Ну и где ты здесь голых углядел?
yo this a banger ngl
RIP Chita 🥀
The world just got a little bit darker today...
RIP Chita Rivera
Mrs. Levenson's early career? Lady Grantham's mother was wild in her youth! 😄
Блестящая Паули!
RIP Chita Rivera
CHITA!!!
Such a great number. Im going to start by saying Im biased toward Chita. But to me her movement seems to be so perfect from snaps and timing and body positions. I know its splitting hairs at this level. ❤
wspaniałe
Paula Kelly.
A Broadway number perfectly translated for film and performed by a trio of knockout triple threats. I wish today's film directors of musicals would learn from Fosse how to film and edit dance, as It seems like a vanished skill.
RIP Chita Rivera 30th Jan 2024
I legit believe the direction of this was for Chita to show us she indeed could and should have been Anita in the movie.
Who was the best dancer of the three?.... I'll go ahead and say it,,,,Chita
Isn't this choreo amazing?!? If you like it put a ring on it (ironically giggles)
Is this the same set that was used for "West Side Story's" America number,
She looks like Madame Medusa!
West Side Story moment
It is shameful, unprofessional , and downright lazy that you neglected to include the great Paula Kelly: one YEAR later. One would hate to assume the reason why a site dedicated to show tunes didn’t bother to find out who this brilliant performer picked by BOB FOSSE is not credited in your bio. Do BETTER.
RIP Queen Paula Kelly and Queen Chita Rivera.
They in their 60s when they film this i assume?
Uh. No.
They want to get out, but that is the dream of any queer kid out there
All I can hear, is prince singing, "just like my mother, she's never satisfied....". This was the start of the end of America!
dance hall girls complaining about their hard, difficult lives by going up on the roof and ..... sing/dance.
Musicals
Why on Earth every time there are Hispanic/Latino characters singing in an American musical, the tune and dance are *Spanish?* It's like putting cowboys to dance Morris, or Ceili, or Highlands dance!
Moreover, when the Spanish arrived to the Americas, Flamenco dance did not exist yet! How on Earth would Hispanic peoples have inherited it, if we became independent before that dance became popular in Spain? And... in Spain there are plenty of different popular/folkloric dances. Flamenco is just one of them.
self loathing is bad for you
😂 Why shouldn't they dance at all? Beautiful dance, beautiful movements... Would it be easier for you if they danced the Hungarian dance? Or Irish? Or Russian? This dance reminded me of Kan Kan. There are also elements of Spanish dance. Don't you have to dance Kan-kan too?
RIP Chita Rivera
RIP Chita Rivera
