Joe Gideon is a Broadway director, choreographer and filmmaker, he in the process of casting the chorus and staging the dance numbers for his latest Broadway show, starring his ex-wife Audrey Paris in what is largely a vanity project for her in playing a role several years younger than her real age, and editing a film he directed on the life of stand-up comic Davis Newman. Joe's professional and personal lives are intertwined, he a chronic philanderer, having slept with and had relationships with a series of dancers in his shows, Victoria Porter, who he hired for the current show despite she not being the best dancer, in the former category, and Kate Jagger, his current girlfriend, in the latter category. That philandering has led to relationship problems, with Audrey during their marriage, and potentially now with Kate who wants a committed relationship with Joe largely in not wanting the alternative of entering the dating world again. Joe also lives a hard and fast life, he chain ...

What I remember about this movie - really, the only thing I remember - was the scene where he is in the hospital bed, smoking and drinking. That scene summed it all up : He refused to stop living, even when they told him it would kill him. .. You gotta live, else what's the point of being alive - I thought was the message. .. I did not get that from watching Dead Poets Society, which I thought was boring as hell, and could not watch to the end. Carpe Diem - seize the day.. uh-huh, ok.. whatever.. Funny though, how I do not remember the rest of this film. Maybe because the rest simply led up to that moment? "He won't quit"... that's what stayed with me. Maybe I should watch it again? But it may not be as , have the same affect, as the first time.. I fear. But what I got, I got, and would rather hold on to. - @Saturday, March 10, 2018 9:29 PM

The single greatest film ever made. Fosse is the only director to win the Emmy, the Tony, and the Oscar all in the same year. It will never be done again. - @Tuesday, September 29, 2015 5:17 PM

That cool lighting rig that spells out "ALL THAT JAZZ" is utilized to better effect in this trailer than it was in the actual movie! - @Tuesday, May 21, 2013 8:51 PM

Roy Scheider is one of the great underrated and misappreciated actors that emerged out of the New Hollywood era. I thought he was great in "The French Connection", "Jaws", "Marathon Man" and "Sorcerer" and everyone says this is his best performance - I have to see it!!! - @Thursday, December 6, 2012 7:24 AM

"Apocalypse Now", "Manhattan", "Tess" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" came out that year. I haven't seen this or any of Fosse's films - but for me personally "Apocalypse Now" is going to be near impossible to beat as the best film of 1979. I really want to see this though, "Star 80" and Fosse's other films as well. - @Thursday, December 6, 2012 7:22 AM

How he lost out on the Oscar will forever baffle me. One of the greatest film performances ever. - @Saturday, September 1, 2012 3:32 AM

Great performance Roy Scheider. - @Tuesday, December 13, 2011 5:34 PM

Bob Fosse was a dynamic choreographer, dancer, and director, BUT, if he was like Joe Gideon was in this movie, he was one dysfunctional dude. Why is it that the most talented, are also the most screwed up? At any rate, THIS was the best movie of 1979; Nothing else that year could compare. I think so anyway. - @Saturday, December 10, 2011 9:17 PM

I adore this film - marvelous, gorgeous, melodious......with great acting, producing, editing, directing. Roy Scheider deserved the Oscar for this role - phenomenal acting. Other actors/actresses were brilliant too 1979 is one of my all time favorite years in film - All That Jazz, Alien, Rocky 2, Apocalypse Now, Moonraker, Mad Max, Kramer vs Kramer, The China Syndrome, The Brood, Tess, 1941 etc - @Thursday, May 26, 2011 12:45 PM
