As he struggles to right his relationships with his ex-wife, his lover, and his daughter, he also has to cope with his failing health. Soon it's clear he'll have to make a choice: his art--or his life.

Movie Reviews

Notes:
"All That Jazz" is allegedly heavily based on filmmaker Bob Fosse's own life. The film features Fosse's choreography in all of the dance scenes which are shot from many angles to give viewers an excellent view of the dance. The film credits the open heart surgery sequence to the Cardiac Surgical Team at St. Luke's Hospital Center in New York City, John E. Hutchinson III, Senior Surgeon. Dick DiBona arranged the photography for the sequence. The patient is not identified.
