- Una scena meravigliosa, musica, danza, teatro, cinema fusi perfettamente insieme in un'apoteosi che è pressoché impossibile spiegare a chi non ha visto questo splendido film.
One of the greatest musical scenes in musical film history.
yup
Roy Scheider was robbed of an Oscar for this movie!
In case anyone cares, the drummer on this number was un-credited, but did (In my opinion) an incredible job. He is/was a San Francisco musician called Mike Hinton.
Yes. A superb drummer!
I care about that. I'm interested in that type of information. Thank you.
@@grantcurry4839 It is gratifying to find another obsessive-compulsive music geek!
Mike was putting int the work!
@@m3rrys0ngstr3ss My opinion also; and it made a positive difference!
"The time to sing is when your emotional level is too high to just speak anymore, and the time to dance is when your emotions are just too strong to only sing about how you feel." - Bob Fosse
One of the most amazing endings to a film, ever, ever.
Roy Scheider wanted this part SO bad he went out and took dance lessons before casting had even begun just so Bob Fosse would consider him. That's commitment. LOL He said in an interview that he just kept showing up wherever Bob was going just to keep himself in Bob's eye and eventually he got the part. I'd say he nailed it. The dance stars of the show were Ann Reinking and Leland Palmer (girlfriend and wife) as well as the dance captain, who was in real life Fosse's dance captain of choice. Ann was also Fosse's current girlfriend at the time so she essentially played herself. Leland Palmer was one of his best dancers (the Fosse dancers), as well. She portrays Gwen Verdon, Fosse's wife, although that part isn't specified. All That Jazz was pretty much Bob Fosse's biopic for himself.
Thanks for that info! I was wondering what was it about Roy Scheider's other work (for e.g., French Connection and Jaws, for pete's sake!!), that made Fosse cast him in this part. It was apparently pure gut commitment on Scheider's part, and he nailed it. How he didn't get the best actor Oscar that year is a mystery, and a travesty.
... you're missing Katheryn Doby, who was also a dance captain who I believe played one of the vascular circulation dance ladies.
@@sonycans Thanks, she also essentially played herself in the beginning as the dance captain onstage during the audition scene as well as during the "Take Off With Us" number.
Did Scheider do his own singing? The voice sounds more like Fosse’s.
@@stvp68 Actually he did. He did his own singing and dancing in this movie which was quite a departure for Scheider at that time in his career. He was more known as a tough guy type of actor at the time.
I’m 54 years old. This ending has stuck with me since I’ve seen it as a child. Sometimes I sing it to myself.
I saw this movie for the first time back in the early 80s when I was a teenager. I was fascinated by this number, but a bit freaked out, especially when the scene abruptly cut from the outro of the song to the near silence of the morgue. All these years later, this scene washes over me in a VERY different way. It's both thrilling and chilling, and I believe it's one of the best scenes ever filmed in movie history. After watching the entire film again, I also believe Fosse was way ahead of his time.. I was delighted to learn that Kubrick said 'All That Jazz' is the best movie he'd ever seen!
I absolutely agree with you. This movie was the 2001 moment in musicals! Still love it.
Fosse was SO far ahead...this is unique!
How Doby and Reinking and Vereen covered their eyes...to give Joe more privacy as he was saying his goodbyes.
Agreed. The cutting alone is pure mastery. Add in the score and the dance, and it just shoots off of the charts!
I never saw the movie, just this clip, decades ago, and it stuck with me. It made an impact on me.
The story of a man who lived on and for the stage, always going to extremes. Roy Scheider delivered the performance of his life. But his death is not depicted as something bitter or sad - on the contrary: It's shown as a great musical scene - cheerful and happy! Even his death is a musical act - he died as he lived: for the stage!!
I am
Epic finale for an amazing movie. Arguably, Bob Fosse's finest work.
Isn't this the beginning?
Sorry, that was for the video I watched before this one.
With all the money spend on the stage, there was no money left to hire good singers?
This ending is splendid. And terrifying. One of my all time favourite movies.
Terrifying and terrific at the same time. A film anyone should see at least twice in their lives. ❤️
If Hollywood ever recreate this scene, I could see Wayne Brady in Ben Vereene's role and Sam Rockwell in Bob Fosse's role.
@@omarcogle1965 good choice with Sam Rockwell
@@t2001kd Did you see his series on FX called Fosse/Verdon?
We own the DVD. I watch it about once every 2 months. The intensity can drain one and yet I love it. When Ben Vereen saw the final cut he had to step out for a few minutes.
@@t2001kd 😊😊
As a straight male who was not even born until the mid-80s and hates musicals in general I'm not afraid to say this is one of my all-time favorite movies. I caught it on TV one day and just watched it because I like Roy Scheider. I'm glad I did. This is such a good fucking movie. Goddamn, this movie is great.
I don't see would being straight has to do with liking a great film but whatever
I'm glad you enjoyed it. This was the work of the GENIUS Bob Fosse and it was "loosely" based on himself. the dark haired woman who played his mistress in the movie was actually his real life mistress Anne Reiking (sp).
Damn! Ben Vereen had some great dance moves!
Epic ending to the greatest musical ever made !!!!! Bob Fosse magic !!!!
its not a musical per se
Films period
@@michaelladd6745 huh?
who wouldn't want to go out like that? Beautiful, simply beautiful.
I wouldn't want to go out like that. The man has apparently not accepted The Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Oh. man. I loved that man! This was so very special. What a trip to the other side of the realm. He is gone as well. Just not fair is it? His passing was as horrifying as Robin Williams. Miss them both.
I love this, loved the movie and it saddens me that so few know how important and wonderful this movie was. Nothing else has managed to capture Fosse quite like this.
Michael ', Pasted at the end of this reply is a quote from a Wikipedia article about this movie. As per the quote, the movie is hardly languishing in obscurity. "In 2001, All That Jazz was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.["
Roy and Ben. Could no one could of done it better.
I own it and have watched it at least 20 times.
The dance was amazing, so sexy.❤❤❤
Yes so sad it didn’t do well in theatres but I think few understand Bob Fosse
I was 15 when this came out. Snuck into the cinema with friends. An incredible film.
apart from the acting, the singin, the music, the dancing, the staging, the choreography, the cinematography, the concept (okay, that's basically 8 1/2 credit where's due) the incredible direction, the monumental performers, can we have some love for the ultra perfect editing. not missing a beat, a shot, an expression. All the myriad mini moments inserted in there. the John Lithgow-Roy Scheider handshake - the brief close up of Leland Palmer- the jiggly applauding strippers - no wonder he took forever in the editing room. Psycho shower scene, All that Jazz. Genius.
There's a reason Alan Heim won an Academy Award for All That Jazz. He has a few tutorials here on CZcams - look him up; he's very entertaining. Also, he is the editor in All That Jazz who is working on Joe Gideon's film "The Standup".
@@martinsorenson1055 it was indeed all very meta-meta this movie.......Bob Fosse Was the only one to chicken out. well, both merciless and narcissistic at the same time, but what a movie.
Had the good luck to see An Reinking (and many others) at the peak of her dancing career in Fosse's dancing, and she had a specialthy number " The Dream barre" which was as close to x-rated as you could get away with there. Of course i saw it at a family matinee - LOL.
i always imagined this one must have been on his mind when they do the Air-otica number - that and the orgy scene in Pippin. Pretty sure that's supposed to be a Stephen Schwartz hommage, caricature, persiflage......
Now if someone can unearth a video of that Ann Reinking number.......
@@palmereldritch7777 Couple of things: 1) I've always thought that same thing about the Pippin orgy and Air-Rotica! Down to a few of the steps and leaps they do. 2) My shameful, embarrassing Ann Reinking story is meeting her outside a restaurant in Downtown LA. I was seeing pre-Broadway Fosse that night and getting some food; she and her friend had apparently just finished their dinner and were heading back to the theater. I stopped them, said hello, we were seeing the show, love her love her and love her. I didn't catch the name of her friend - but then while sitting in the theater, reading the program, I realized it was none other than Gwen Verdon. I wanted to die.
@@martinsorenson1055 The last steps and roll to the floor of Pippin's orgy ad Airotica are indeed the same As to your story though I can feel you "shame" it's a heck of a story, and i guess by that time Mrs Verdon could take anything life had served her. Theater people have a great sense of drama but are also surprisingly practical when it comes to life's slings and arrows. You are blessed to have met these 2 legends. Only got to see miss Reinking on the Broadway stage in Dancing and very fleetingly during the Dutch company premiere of Dancing. Side note isn't Leland Palmer one of the unsung heroes of All That Jazz as well? Can't have been an easy part to play, and i wish we could have seen her in much more, cause she's electric.
The larger-than-life appearance of John Lithgow at the end of that movie, where Joe went to say goodbye and shook his hand!:)
M A S T E R P I E C E
Anyone who's still watching this in the shit hole of 2022?
I'm 35 years old and I first watched this masterpiece when i am 15... Since then I know "I have to become an actor" . Who knows maybe I will, but I am still seeking this dream and this movie give me strengh whenever I needed. With the love from bottom of my heart. Cheers.
Ben Vereen the ultimate Fosse dancer.
...I watched this for the first time recently...it's an astonishing film...it completely blew me away...
I love the range of emotions on Joe's face as he sees Death waiting for him in the person of Jessica Lange. Especially fear.
The greatest film ever made.
The best ending sequence. Ever.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FOSSE
I first saw this movie as a teenager in the late 70s and was fascinated by it. Still love it - weird but great! As many things are 😉
Cuando vi esta película no queria irme, queria más. Todo era exacto. Todo era maravilloso. Me enloqueció, cuando logré irme, al otro dia ya estaba sentada viéndola por segunda vez. No tengo idea de cuantas veces la ví. Y menos de cuantas veces la bailé.
Hola!! yo conocí sólo la canción y no dejo de cantarla. La peli cual es? sabes dónde la puedo encontrar? Gracias!!
@@CarlaRumieVittar21 Hola! La peli es "All That Jazz" dirigida por el mismísimo Bob Fosse. Yo la vi por Stremio
I’ve seen this movie at least 5 times (I don’t know how many more, actually)! One cannot remember “All That Jazz” without remembering Annie Reinking. 😢🙏🕊✝️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌟 No female dancer could even come close to her, in my opinion. Of course, she worked harder than most at achieving her perfection; but Annie was just given all the perfect body sections to make a top-rated dancer. Her legs were about a mile long, and she knew how to use them! Her leaps were higher than any other Broadway artiste! There was (nor never will be, I don’t believe) anyone like her in dance. She was an exceptionally good actor as well! I am a straight-up heterosexual woman, but one can easily see how Bob Fosse fell head-over-heels in love with her! Even her gritty voice is sexy in a lovely, ladylike way!
If you watch Anne Reinking dance in this scene (she is cast in two roles here - one in the audience as Scheider’s former lover, now curled up cozily with another man - - and of course, she is also cast one-half of the “arterial/venous twins” who dance with Ben. Vereen). I wouldn’t want to be “the other half” of Anne Reinking! If you watch these two move, it’s absolutely amazing how Annie’s leg is always straighter or bent tighter than her counterpart’s! However, they were both in just about perfect synchronization during the section where they both come out side by side, bending their outer lower limbs to a walk that is graceful and elegant. (But Annie’s leg does come up higher, and she gives it her own kind of “twist” as she lowers it back to the floor.
Rest now, Anne Reinking......you inspired so many, you entertained millions, you worked your backside off. Thank you for every step of your wonderful performances. We will never stop missing you. 🌹
OMG, I have been watching this for years and only just now realised the lead singer/dancer is Chicken George Moore from roots. What a talent!!
That's Ben Vereen, he was a foundational entertainer in his day.
IMPRESIONANTE! NO PARO DE LLORAR. QUE ACTORES, POR DIOS! QUE MUSICA! QUE DIRECTOR!
Sublime, lo he visto mil veces y voy por miles más, la muerte en su máxima expresión ❤
Watching this movie I can't tell if Bob Fosse was hopelessly in love with himself, or if he desperately hated himself.
Why couldn't it be a bit of both
He does say, "I go both ways" in the movie.
Yes
I just noticed for the first time that Audrey (his ex-wife) and Michelle (his daughter) are neither applauding nor standing when Joe goes out into the audience.
Still vividly recall first seeing this in a theatre in 1980 - was so blown away that I stayed on for the next show - something that was allowed in those days. And this was Stanley Kubrick’s favorite movie!
I did the same!! And I had just turned 18 that year- this and FAME in the same year made this theater kid feel like I could conquer the world. ❤
Одна из сильнейших концовок в кинематографе - это то, что предстоит "пережить" каждому из нас в свое время, всем без исключения.
This is cinema. No more words
Sono gvardoto questo cinema 30 anni fa.Oggi sentito con lo stesso effetto !Meraviglioso !!!
Fantastic! I have to see this again. RIP Bob & Roy.
Obviously a great film. Dancing, music, drama & a bit of comedy 🎉
...no me canso de verla...es lo mejor que e visto en comedia musical...
.. pasan los años y me sigue emocionando..
A musical comedy? More like a musical tragedy.
It's life and death. Just accept. The best WONDERFUL movie ever seen. Thanks Bob & Roy.
Best movie ever and best song ever!!!!!
Such lovely blood vessels.
ROY sCHeIdER & BEN VEREEN - PERFECTION!!!
ﾊﾞｯｸﾀﾞﾝｻｰで踊る二人組の全身ﾀｲﾂ女が可愛くてｾｸｼｰでｴﾛいです。ﾋﾟﾁﾋﾟﾁﾀｲﾂを着て恥ずかしげもなくｸﾈｸﾈと艶めかしいﾀﾞﾝｽを踊る全身ﾀｲﾂ女ﾀﾞﾝｻｰはまさに全身ﾀｲﾂのｽｰﾊﾟｰｽﾀｰですね!それにしても本当に気持ち良さそうに踊ってるのでこの二人は余程全身ﾀｲﾂを着るのが好きで快感を感じているのでしょう
Bravo Bob Fosse . Sceneggiatore ,regista..fà tutto lui! E se la canta anche!
Sou bailarina a 25 anos e este filme foi a minha inspiração para seguir em frente .Está História e triste e ao mesmo tempo linda e emocionante
Roy Sheider is so perfect!
This is how to say good bye to life with dignity and grace and ease.
and rock and roll

Masterful tribute to the ending of Fellini’s 8 1/2
Grande!!!! grande!!!! Un artista muy entregado a su trabajo!!!! Vivirás por siempre
I'd forgotten what a total trip this movie is.
Great song, even greater movie! Need to watch it again!
A masterpiece. May my exit be as sublime.
Epic! Iconic! Bob Fosse un grande forever
Historicamente sublime! el mejor final de un musical de todos los tiempos
Ale Casella
I saw this movie when it first released and although a big fan of dance I didn't know what the hell was really happening. I admired the production but it was way advanced for a teen. I see now it's genius addressing impending death amid gladness about one's life
No me canso de ver esta escena
I think this may be my favorite film ending
Gwen Verdon is an absolute star
Este año despedí a un amigo, y no me canso de ver esta escena. Siento que es la mejor ceremonia para honrar a una persona querida. Gracias totales!
what a way to go out...pure style!
Ever seen this through but after watching this bit will find it to watch All the way to the end.
Do love Roy Schindler as well
Masterpiece !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
un finale di film che definire meraviglioso e riduttivo una cosa unica
The Greatest! I LOVE him!
Una maravilla que marcó un antes y después en mi adolescencia!, GENIOOOOOOO
Maybe the best finale ever, along with Shawshank Rédemption !
Great movie and unsettling finale. 8:19 where Joe's doctor looks at his watch, I just realized why -- he's marking the time of death.
My ex-husband loved this movie. No wonder he is an ex .... a brilliant movie but a complete fever dream.
Master piece,Rita,Law school,National University in Greece,from Athens in 1981.
It's just an amazing film
His flirtation with death (Jessica Lange) was sublime
Now that's an exit!!!!
amazing that he got a budget to make a movie about his life. Have to love the late 70s.
Esa coreografía de casi diez minutos de duración en el ecran fue todo un espectáculo visual que quedó en la retina de los espectadores y en la mía por supuesto y ocho años después muere el gran Fosse en Washington D.C un 23 de septiembre de 1987.
¡Y qué mejor manera para irse de este mundo como más te gustaría hacerlo, como esa maravilla visual!
OBRA MAESTRA!!! MÚSICA, ACTUACION, GUION, VESTUARIO Y POR SOBRE TODO INTERPRETACION DEL OCASO...
i'm using this for my send off great way to go the last show .
I was way too young when I saw this on th screen - MESMERIZED
Imagine a six year old kid watching this and still trying to process it at 47 😕
One of my favourite movie endings of all time.
I have always loved this amazing flick!😊
Death's an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew.
Ivan Turgenev (Russian Novelist 1818-1883)
I dont like musicals, but this one is my favorite, specially for the big finale...
saw this movie in 1980 with my best friend pat, both trippin on acid 17 years old lol what a long time ago
+Victor Pontbriand I think I sat behind you. I was doing the same thing. God Bless the 80's
I hope the people at CRITERION COLLECTION are gonna include this movie as part of their library!
That’s pretty specific. Is that cause of how they do restoration or bonus features? It’s been a while since I checked them out
@@michaelb9537 they all ready did
the most powerfull dance number EVER!!!!
The fabulous Ben Vereen.....
Aprovecharlos a ver y oír y deleitarnos con lo más hermoso en musicales que el amigo Bob me la ha cedido para mi despedida de esta extraña vida. No obstante os la legare sin cobrar derechos de R.I.P
Grande, grande, grande. Un musical strepitoso. E mi rammenta (anche) la stupidità (chiamiamola così, va'!) dell'amministrazione di Sanremo che, nel 1999 mi costrinse a cancellare la terza edizione del Music & Film Festival.
Lo mejor que tengo visto.
Magnifique ode à la danse non conventionnelle , film superbe
Lovely!
Quelle merveille ! Combien de fois j'ai vu ce film? Je ne sais plus...
See, THAT'S how you sign off!
OBRA PRIMA DE BOB FOSSE.
Kind of haunting, really...
What an intense 10 minutes!
What a number!
Everybody's heart and soul was poured into this final scene! Bravo!
