39. All That Jazz (1979)

Roy Scheider plays a pill popping, chain smoking, booze loving womaniser in a 'let's put a show together' musical from Bob Fosse. It's a semi autobiographical self indulgent mess of a movie. The dance numbers range from fair to good and the storyline is confusingly all over the place.

It's nothing on Cabaret. All I have to say.


Redeeming moment of a repeated scene in the film. Scheider/Gideon/Fosse's morning wake up routine. Shower, Alka Seltzer, speed, eye drops. "It's show time, folks!"
