FX is giving HBO a run for its money in the daring department. Fosse/Verdon is the second chapter that began with Feud (Bette Davis vs Joan Crawford).
Bob Fosse was a hard living genius of stage and screen, the four films he made between 1969 - 79 are all classics (Sweet Charity, Cabaret, Lenny and All That Jazz), he died barely making 60 in 87. Gwen Verdon was the principal dancer of his Broadway shows, most notably Chicago. I hated the film version, they castrated Fosse's vision for a PG - 13 and the annoying Renee Zellweger sucked very hard as Verdon.
Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams play the title roles....a vast improvement over Suckweger!
