Dominican Rep. A Chorus Line
4,908
Musical
An adaptation of one of the most successful and unusual musicals of all time. A group of Broadway hopefuls auditioning for a place in the chorus line of a new show, relate the stories of their lives -- their disappointments, their dreams, and the professional rejections and successes. Among the dancers trying to make the grade is the director's former lover, a woman who once made it big and now would be grateful just to dance in the chorus. [+]

"A classic play has been reduced a decent movie. It's a shame it couldn't be as good as the play; it's a small pleasure" | ||
|
|
|
"eThis is one of the most intelligent and compelling movie musicals in a long time" | ||
|
|
|
"'Chorus' often seems static and confined, rarely venturing beyond the immediate. Attenborough merely films the stage show as best he could" | ||
|
|
|
"[It] is often surprisingly effective and enjoyable, transcending its troubled history" | ||
|
|
|
"Richard Attenborough's direction achieves that balance of impersonality and brisk pacing we've come to recognize as 'professionalism'" | ||
|
|
|
"Attenborough has done what nobody thought possible - recreate a classic without raping and pillaging the original, though Chorus Line purists will find plenty to moan about." | ||
|
|
|
"Director Attenborough's film version has a couple of pleasant numbers which serve as oases amidst the dullness" |
