Fosse was so influential a choreographer with such a recognizable style that we tend to forget what a great dancer he was.

He had amazing control over every muscle in his body. Even when it seems like his arms and legs are doing wild things, every move is in control and has a purpose. Wonderful to watch.

During the end of the Damn Yankees scene with Gwen as Fosse drags her off stage, watch his feet. That dedication to detail is seldom seen in Western dance perhaps with the exception of ballet. To me, Fosse was art in motion. He was my favorite as a child and remains so.

Gwen Vernon was as fast, as expressive, as decisive, as subtle a dancer as was Fosse. I knew her name but I didn’t know why. She deserves to be remembered for her incredible energy and talent.

I know he dances like ballet dancer with great tap technique , I never saw him dancing really, just know his choreography. He stand up to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, I say he is better then Kelly, pity Hollywood overlooked him. Fred Astaire has his own style he was more like tap-ballroom dancer, but Gene Kelly similar to Fosse, but Fosse much better then Kelly

Gwen Verdon is the interviewee and demonstrates her usual deference to Fosse so I'll speak up for her. As you can see from the clips, she is a wonderful dancer. At 04:29 she says that Bob "flys" and she can't but at 05:52 she's right with him.

I noticed that, too, and Gwen is the only dancer to match to Fosse's own ability and choreography that I've seen, with Liza and the chorus girls from Cabaret coming in a close second place. Sure, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Rita Moreno, Debbie Allen, Ben Vereen, and so many other greats compare, but to me, Bob was the best of the best---he infused Gwen with his talent.

Robert Lee, Countertenor Agreed, I think Reinking was Bob’s true “muse”. And although Verdon was a terrific dancer, she never had the qualities of a true entertainer to become a star-“Chicago” was about to tank on Broadway until Liza Minnelli stood in for Verdon during an injury, and she catapulted it into legendary status. But watching Reinking in “All that Jazz” makes you realize how much Zeta Jones paled in comparison in the filmed version. Reinking is a legend who never got anywhere near the recognition she deserved...

In the mid-1930s they did give an Oscar for Dance Direction. It lasted for about 3 years and then was discontinued. This is the only time choreography was recognized with an Oscar (in a competitive category). However, they did give a special Oscar to Gene Kelly for choreography achievement (and his overall talent) for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, awarded in 1952. You'll never see them give an Oscar now for dance because film musicals are so rarely done today.

Michael Jackson based his whole style on Fosse. I mean, if you look at Fosse's white anklets and shoes; the isolations; the serpent dance (you can find that on KZbin). It's really extraordinary how brilliant a dancer he was. Wish he'd had the career that Gene Kelly or Astaire had; he's up there with them.

Sometimes a performer has had to compensate for a bad hip, a game leg, or a not so straight spine. And what they DO to, make up for it? Defines a unique style, births their trademark moves... you wouldn't change for the world. Fosse's signature 'slouch and strut" came from some real physical issues he had as a young man, and he just incorporated into his dancing style and created something so admired, so often imitated, and always loved!!!

Was married and inspired by the fantabulous Ms. Joan McCracken, one of the highlights of my favorite musical , Good News(1947) which, surprisingly, was a box office failure in it's time, according to Wikipedia. All my love this holiday season. PS sadly this transfer from VHS is of just too low quality to be enjoyable. I am going to seek a download of My Sister Eileen(1955), especially since the lovely Ms. Leigh is a fave. It will be nice to see her in a rare musical appearance. She was fantastic in Bye bye Birdie(1963). Thank you so much for your effort. xox

No, you don't get it at all. Bob Fosse was a jazz dancer. Fred Astaire was a tap dancer. He could no more do The Fossy flare then he could land himself on the moon, and as much as I love Michael Jackson and recognize his unique mark on dance as a pop music performer he doesn't belong in the conversation about people who revolutionized jazz dance. He just doesn't belong in a conversation about professional dancers. Fred Astaire was among the greatest tap dancers that ever lived, Bob Fosse was a great tap dancer but let's say you take Tap Away from both of them. Now describe what kind of dancer you have left.. Nobody would be saying Fred Astaire what's the greatest dancer without his tap dancing where has Bob Fosse is the greatest most Innovative most revolutionary Jazz dancer in the history of the art form.

I wasn't sure Sam Rockwell could pull it off but so far he's knocking it out of the park and I don't think if they looked for a million years they could have found someone better than Michelle Williams to play Gwen. And the individual dancers in the "life is a cabaret" scene are incredible. It's great to see that despite the fact movie musicals are dead and there's not much work on Broadway, there are still great dances how are great characters out there.

Exactly! In my humble view, modern/post-modern/contemporary art -- whatever you want to call it -- puts way too much emphasis in novelty by itself, which is insuficient to lead to meaningful results. It lacks a relation with the past; it doesn't take part in the conversation, to use an alegory. Most of what is produced today seems to me to be completely worthless, and I mean this very seriously. I'm not saying this from a position of ignorance; it's not that "I don't get it." I do. I get it. And I think it's worthless. Obviously, simply copying what came before is also not satisfying. True art is somewhere between the extremes.

I love Ioved watch this. Bob Fossie was an incredible dancer. 👏Bob and Tommy Rall dancing together, fabulous! Tommy R from 7Brides for 7Brothers, was great in those dance numbers from the movie. I watch Who's got the Pain, every day. Such a wonderful dance number with them both.❤

In Kiss Me Kate, that dance sequence in "From this Moment On" has to be one of the best choreographed segments I've ever seen. Bob Fosse was so good, that you don't pay attention to Carol Haney who was also outstanding. I'm still trying to figure out how he suspended himself on the pole and humped the pole. Amazing! Also the incredible acrobatic leap by Tommy Rall, I'm trying to figure out how he did that without breaking a leg.

@@EnliveningJustice No, they're just stating facts. This style of dancing originated directly from jazz culture which came long before Bob fosse. So to say he 'started it all' is just absolutely absurd. Why are you so hurt by the fact that it was African-American dancers that in fact started it?

Love the way Fosse just shrugs off the pirouette challenge at 3:30, where Tommy Ralls does about eight of them and Bob can barely squeeze 4 or 5. The order should have been flipped, since Rall was clearly the more trained ballet dancer- so a challenge sequence would have made more sense with the one who could turn more going last. However, Fosse really worked it well by simply shrugging his shoulders, as if to concede.

bobbymoya - yes but Fosse was a genius in choreography and yes still a good dancer and the way he filmed dance was incredible and the he made Anne reinking, Liza Minnelli and all these other women look incredible - yes a genius, we don't have that anymore

Kind of reminds me of what they'd call in pro wrestling "ring psychology" - those little touches and gestures you wouldn't notice, that add up to make for a compelling character and tell a full story in a ring
