Wissenswertes
In the pre-Broadway run, song "Dance 10, Looks 3" was listed as "Tits and Ass", but it was changed when the production reached Broadway, the logic being if it were a surprise during the show, it would get a better audience reaction.

Patzer
In the final dance scene at the end of the audition sequence, clearly visible are dancers who have been shown to be rejected.

This scene isn't intended to be in continuity but is more like a curtain call (as it was in the Broadway musical).

Zitate
Zach: Tell me about the Bronx.
Diana: What's to tell about the Bronx? It's uptown and to the right.
Zach: What made you start dancing?
Diana: Who knows? I'm Puerto Rican. We jump around a lot.

Alternative Versionen
The international print of the movie has a different opening credits sequence. All the titles appear with scenes around Manhattan, which opens the film, and then we see the shot of the theater as the dancers are lined up and walking in the theater; there is also no sound of Larry directing the dancers until the first shot inside the theater.

Enjoyable

Why all the bad reviews? Is it dated? Yes. But the music, the dancing, the really skimpy costumes all makes it magical.

I recently saw the documentary following the Broadway revival and felt the tug of nostalgia pulling to watch the original. I was watching mainly for the music and the dancing. They did not disappoint.

Of course THEATRE is best live and in person - that goes without saying. But I enjoyed my viewing of A Chorus Line.
