All That Jazz (1979)

Second viewing; previously viewed between 1983 and 1986.

An overworked choreographer and director who is also a womanizer, a chain smoker, a heavy drinker and a drug user suffers a heart attack and revisits his life choices as he deals wih the prospect of death.

Overrated musical with indifferent secondary characters, a trite approach to its themes, and a tiresome and repetitive structure. Some musical numbers are fine, and lend the movie a degree of watchability.

Rating: 48 (down from 63)
