724 - All That Jazz (1979)
b'
Can Roy Scheider (playing Joe Gideon - a gossamer thin veiled version of director Bob Fosse) keep his addictions and self-destructive inclinations in check long enough to finish edits on a motion picture he\\u2019s directed while also choreographing a broadway musical extravaganza? \\xa0Of course he can. \\xa0But can he achieve true excellence in these tasks without succumbing to his most base impulses? \\xa0Now that\\u2019s the question of the film. \\xa0To answer this, Fosse sends up everyone including himself in this wry, dazzling, mean, funny, and devastating take down of a business like no other.
If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing John Sturges\\u2019\\xa0Bad Day at Black Rock\\xa0(1955).
