    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?

The movie Sweet Charity is better than one might think with a bunch of great dance numbers.

      @@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.

      There is the contemporary failure of the movie to account for. The musical is true to its Fellini origins and is often cynical and ironic about its age. Thee is strong element of parody here and elsewhere. Too soon, perhaps. when it was released? Or the public wanted something more celebratory and optimistic?

    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.

Hoy todo se ha vuelto en el/la que más brinca, más se contorsiona, más se tira al piso y se levanta cual resorte, PERO NO HAY CLASE, NO HAY FEELING, NO HAY CHIC.

    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! 💖

    Its so crazy how Fosse has influence pop culture and my life.

So crazy.
