Sweet Charity

Sweet Charity

Directed by Bob Fosse • 1969 • United States
Starring Shirley MacLaine, John McMartin, Chita Rivera

Shirley MacLaine gives one of her most winning performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon’s smash Broadway hit, which was in turn inspired by Federico Fellini’s NIGHTS OF CABIRIA. Director and ever-innovative choreographer Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually dazzling story of a lovelorn New York City dance-hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.
