Which was kind of the problem. This movie optimistically billed itself as "The Musical Motion Picture of the '70s," but chic discotheques like this were already on their way out by the time it was released. When they came back as discos in the next decade, the atmosphere and clothes were a lot more casual.

Suzanne Charny really should become iconic in this world, and in history, because of this scene. The pony tail (which killed her scalp), the Little Black Dress, the white opera gloves, the shoes (which were too small for her feet, BTW), the indifference in her expression and, of course, her flawlessness and absolute mastery at Fosse's choreography. She is sheer brilliance here. And she deserves more recognition, IMHO. What do all y'all think?

I am obsessed with the male dancer in the red waistcoat, on the right during the aloof. I can’t take my eyes off of him the entire time, his whole demeanour, facial expression and the way he moves his body is just fantastic. You just get such a good sense of who he is and I love it, it’s hard to put into words properly. I’d love to know who he is and see him in more things. That walk with the cigarette and the bobbing head is my favourite part of this whole routine, it says so much with so little

This is one of the greatest dance sets that's ever been done - Fosse was brilliant. Suzanne's first dance is the best of the three. The movie Sweet Charity is better than one might think with a bunch of great dance numbers. Of course, this is an incredible cultural period piece and movie, but then you can also appreciate it for the 60's genre that it is - OK, it is a parody and comedy you know, although still has its sad parts but Charity gets over it...Watch it!

I keep watching this lately and I have to say Fosse always cast the best dancers. I have to tear my eyes away from the ones placed in front and look at those in the back and even they are absolutely fantastic. I mean sometimes you can watch these shows or movies and see someone and just go "yeah I see why they put you way in the back." Someone's slightly off or less energetic, or their flow is just slightly off. But, as I said, you don't see that. Even supporting dancers are just perfection and in near perfect sync with moves I know are hard as heck to sync up.

Edit: whoops, when I first read this I missed your words "to the viewers right," sorry. @@stephenlagan8569 Not sure if you mean to Suzanne's right or the viewer's right, so I'll name both guys in the trio: the one with the darker, curlier hair is Lee Roy Reams, who is still alive and working! Or at least his most recent credit on IMDB is from 2018. The guy with the lighter, straighter hair is the inimitable Bud Vest (aka Buddy Vest), who passed away in 1995. Both had successful Broadway careers and Reams was also active in TV and became a director. Incidentally, the two Black dancers in this scene are also famous names. The woman (in the curly silver headgear) is Chelsea Brown, who had a successful stage career and also a great run on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. The man, who is featured in a solo turn in the last part of this video, is none other than the one and only Ben Vereen. This was his film debut. Before that, he was already doing well on Broadway, and even understudied for Sammy Davis Jr.

This is the 1969 version of the "Ascot Gavotte" from "My Fair Lady". As utterly different as the two sequences are, they are both examples of dance-as-metaphor, illustrating the essence of their respective societies.

It forever amazes me that critics and audiences hated this movie upon its release. It has the best movie musical sequences of ANY film. This, the roof top dance, Rhythm of Life… no one has ever filmed production numbers better

Ben Vereen!!! He's awesome! I never get tired of watching the dance scene, each one was excellent, With Bob Fosse being the choreographer, I bet they worked really hard to achieve this scene!! Amazing... I was 4 years old when this movie came out (I didn't know about it till years later).. We had this sweet 15 year live with us, a foster kid, but my parents actually knew her and her family.. I remember she use to dress so cool, lots of eye makeup and big colorful earrings, she listened to her records all the time! She was a lot of fun to be around! 💖

I ended up here after catching a clip from "The Birdcage" with Robin Williams. He mentions (among others) "Fosse" when talking about dance. So, a bit of googling later ... here I am.

I feel like there hasn’t been a decade as weird as the 60’s, like I would have thought (and love) that things should have gotten more and more weird with time, but they just didn’t 🤔 Maybe humanity reached peak weirdness and then it all went downhill from there?
