Sweet Charity is a 1969 American musical comedy-drama film directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse in his film directorial debut.[2] It is adapted by Peter Stone from the 1966 stage musical of the same name – also directed and choreographed by Fosse – in turn based on the 1957 Federico Fellini film Nights of Cabiria.
It stars Shirley MacLaine in the title role, a taxi dancer at a Times Square dance-hall. The cast also features John McMartin, Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, Stubby Kaye, Ricardo Montalbán, Sammy Davis Jr., and Barbara Bouchet. Ben Vereen, in his film debut, appears as a dancer.
The film was released by Universal Pictures on April 1, 1969. It received a mixed critical reception, but received three Academy Award nominations - Best Score, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. MacLaine was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her performance. Retrospective reviews have been more positive.[3]
