Fosse would probably be attacked by #metoo if he were still working today.

I have never seen this movie and now I want to from these responses. It’s not available in Prime Video on Amazon. Only a dvd and I don’t really want a dvd. Darn.

I did see Pippin on Broadway, a matinee but I didn’t really like it. the 70s in NY, especially the mid and after were a real interesting time. Fosse really fit in then.

Should have won best picture Oscar instead of that overacting depressing snoozefest Kramer vs. Kramer. Scheider also got robbed by Hoffman, and Fosse for director. Shows how useless the Oscars always have been.

Kramer vs. Kramer... ugh. Anne Reinking was simply stunning.

They would never allow that movie to be made today. All those sexy long legs.

I was referring to his policy of not giving the lead to dancers who rebuffed his advances.

Bob Fosse was an incredibly talented man of many flaws, but doesn’t negate hiss enormous output of creative work. I can spot a Fosse style dance performance a mile away.

No argument, I was simply stating the obvious.

Michael Jackson was heavily influenced by Fosse

Or maybe he copied him...

But Fosse’s choice of performers is not, and never was ... Spanky ...
