this movie that originally be go to include fred astaire and gene kelley and judy garland and ann miller be leave with some great dancer such a gower or marge champion and bob fosse . some people insist that this be a gem this fanatic of great musical ( flick that include great dancing and singing and act ) and this be just an innocuous adventure of entertainment perform by talented dancer . the gower or marge champion number seem to be the recipient of more time and money with more well think out production value . the bob fosse number seem surprisingly off kilter that only suggest the great work that he will be do in the future . one could attribute this to gower good fortune of dance with a great dance partner that he can personally bond with . it be fun see a dance partnership provide some of the best highlight of the film . the bob fosse or debbie reynolds seem to suffer because debbie couldn not fully realize the move that fosse be give her especially since she be much young than him . ( note represent interest see a perky choreograph dance number and especially consider the sharp or edgy or sexily ting or jazzy move that fosse give to the world ) . in addition and stanley donen do not do fosse any favor with the backward footage that look out of placed and or or awkward good idea that do not quite produce the desired effect . note represent bob fosse be not a singer though he try hard . his best work can be find in much of his latter work and or or in film where he dance with dan dailey and gene kelley and many others . it too bad that bob fosse and gower champion couldn not get along hence deny the general public of what would be create with these immensely talented dancer or choreographer . a dance showdown between fred astaire or gene kelley ( see in the great ziegfield ) and the team of fosse or champion would have be great to experience . wouldn not it be fascinate discover why there be serious fraction that eventually have bob fosse or stanley donen vs. gower champion or marge champion or debbie reynolds . fyi represent george chakiris ( of west side story fame ) can also be see in the movie btw represent mgm do not even release this film in new york and that demonstrate their faith in this flick . one can only imagine what would have result if this $ 2m film ( a big amount for that time ) have the originally intend cast of gene kelly and feed astaire and judy garland and ann miller what can only have dream the magic from the burton lane or ira gershwin song .
