What critics compared Lenny to
…whether it’s Bob Fosse’s Lenny or the Mary Elizabeth Winstead-starring All About Nina, they’re able to translate the disparity or similarity between life on stage and life off it…
I’ve always found the idea of making a movie about stand-up comedy so interesting, whether it’s Bob Fosse’s Lenny or the Mary Elizabeth Winstead-starring All About Nina, they’re able to translate the disparity or similarity between life on stage and life off it.
You can't help wondering what Fosse would have done to add some panache and ferocity toa film version of Chicago, a musical that was created in the mid-seventies, after his movies Cabaret and Lenny, and before the autobiographical All That Jazz.
