BIG SPENDER: SWEET CHARITY vs. TWISTED BROADWAY




Bob Fosse is one of my favourite dancers and 

choreographers. His groundbreaking jazz steps are

 influenced by the cake- and the camel walk, historical

 performed by great vaudeville dancers like Joe Frisco and

 Jack Cole, counteracted by his own inventions, the chick

 walk, the fan kick, the hinge walk and the drag step. His

 choreographies followed the golden era of the hollywood 

musical genre and transformed it into new spheres.


This clip shows two shortcuts, `Hey Big Spender´ and `The

 Rich Man´s Frug´ from his first movie as a director: Sweet

 Charity (1969), based on Federico Fellini´s Nights on 

Cabiria.
