Bob Fosse ... choreographer
Louise Quick ... assistant choreographer
15 songs in the Soundtracks.
To say Tony Bennett et al are in this show is deceptive. They're in the audience, which is sampled very little.
IMDB rating 8.6 with 480+ votes. I have a note that I rated this 4 on Netflix, which could have been many (or many, many) years ago.
I'm just not a fan of LM. She worked hard, and got a standing ovation, but not from me.
The Fosse choreography does not impress me here; seems derivative of his other works. And they do 5 numbers from Cabaret.
I need to remove myself from this 60's culture. I liked the extra clip of LM singing a familiar Aznavour song in 2005.
