I've know this movie since my childhood and I never fell out of love with it.
It's so intelligent and politically incorrect, I feel certain it wouldn't have been made today. The musical numbers are terrific and exciting, and the dialogues, especially the ones between Fosse's alter ego and Death are legendary. It's interesting to catch a glimpse of what it's really like in show business as well.
Roy Scheider was never given a better chance to prove his worth and he does it wonderfully. Everybody has great moments but it's the movie that stands out on its own, thanks to Fosse's directing. If only it has been him to give us the movie version of Chicago...

I liked this movie much more than Chicago. Chicago was very well done and enjoyable, but i thought it was over-hyped, and I didn't like Queen Latifah at all in that movie and thought they should have cast someone else. The rest of the cast was perfect. Now, onto All That Jazz:This is a truely great movie and very well directed and cast. I can't imagine anyone but Roy Scheider in the roll of Joe Gideon. He plays a very believable choreographer who is a womanizer, sex addict, drug addict, alcoholic and workaholic, who eventually burns himself out from exhaustion while trying to put together a musical production, and suffers a heart attack and dies. The movie is actually a musical about his death. Jessica Lang plays the character of "Death". It's nice that Death is represented by a beautiful angelic woman in white, instead of a scary grim reaper. The song and dance numbers are great and very memorable. I love the music in this movie! My older brother was an usher at the theatre at the time this movie played, and he saw it over 40 times and bought the soundtrack album. It's probably his favorite movie of all time. Although this movie is billed as a musical comedy, i viewed it as more of a serious drama about a very talented and charismatic man who suffered from many addictions and paid the price for it in his personal life. Highly recommended movie, and Roy Scheider's performance is mesmorizing to watch. The dance sequence called "Air-otica" is a very sensual dance number you won't soon forget! This movie is on my personal list of the 100 greatest films of all time.

I was very impressed with this when it came out. I was 18.
What's wrong? Let's see: the dancing, the music, the choreography, the sensibility, the dialogue, the sermonizing, the acting, the pseudo-sensitivity, the posing, the style-over-substance approach to presenting -- nothing at all.
Not the most-overrated film ever. But very close. Wake up people! It's all flash! In some rather minimal way, that was the point of the movie ... so, thank me. I saved you from a 2 hour-long 'revelation' ...

wow, this is one of the greatest films i've ever seen. simply fantastic and wonderful. i think that the recent hyped 'chicago' was somewhat and somehow miserably copied or at least stole lot of its lousy settings from this wonderful film. i would never imagine that roy scheider could be this good. he should get an oscar from this. and suppose this ' all that jazz' was competing with that lousy and boring 'chicago' from all the same oscar categories? mymymy, a movie about new york broadway showbiz should be and must be like 'all that jazz'. it should be the bible of this genre. another good dancing movie is the 'center stage' if you didn't watch it yet, get it, hombre.

I've been waiting for this film to hit DVD for a long time. I saw it in high school in 1979 and enjoyed the passion and energy of the movie right up to the final arresting image. I saw that the DVD wasn't completely loaded with the extras the film deserves, but I was still there to buy it immediately.
I liked the Roy Scheider commentary and wished there was more. There are great clips of Scheider in character commenting during production and a series of clips of Fosse himself directing the opening "cattle call" sequence (the real "Joe Gideon" at work!). For a very surreal moment, listen to Scheider's commentary for the final death dance sequence where Fosse tells him, "They've all forgiven me!"
Hopefully, as the film is rediscovered by a new generation of fans (the CHICAGO phenom has to help), a special edition that includes more of Fosse's life and background information will come out. I'll buy that one too. ALL THAT JAZZ has what so many films are missing these days: a personal vision unafraid to bare its soul. I remember Fosse took a lot of flack for his "ego" back in 1979, but the honesty and boldness of his vision remains.
