Music reviews of Sweet Charity (1969 Film Soundtrack)
Music Review: SWEET CHARITY -found none at all at the box office!
Rating: 4 Stars
You say to yourself, why did this musical fail so badly at the box office?
And if you're bit of a movie buff like I am, you remember that in the 1960's, just about every musical after THE SOUND OF MUSIC bombed. DR. DOOLITTLE, STAR, HELLO DOLLY and thats just from Fox. DARLING LILI, PAINT YOUR WAGON from Paramount. FINIANS RAINBOW from Warners, GOODBYE MR.CHIPS from MGM. And then came Universal's turn...
It was to be the studio's grandest picture of 1969. Topping off a period that saw talent agency MCA's take over Universal. The building of the "black tower", the creation of the "Universal Studios tour", the construction of the Sheraton Universal hotel and the beginning development and expansion of Universal City itself. Studio boss Lew Wasserman, Hollywood's reigning supreme power monarch, had personally fought for SWEET CHARITY to be made. But when the premiere party screening was held for all his friends, the elite, the political establishment and even MCA's founder Jules Stein, this tale of of a common taxi dancer Shirley MacLaine falling in love. And the psychodelic Sammy Davis Jr's musical number offended the likes of Nancy Reagan and many others in the audience. Well, it was taken as somewhat obscene, despite all the political assasinations of the decade and the really obscene death and destruction of the Vietnam war. Bad timing I guess, specially for veteran choreographer and first time director Bob Fosse.
SWEET CHARITY had what all good musicals must have -good music. It was well cast too. I thought Fosse did a great job, unfortunately the public passed on it as did all those who were so deeply "offended" at the big screening. How dare all those girls sing "Hey big spender" to boot. Today, SWEET CHARITY would be considered oh so tame and innocent. Maybe PRETTY WOMAN should be remade as a musical, with today's political crowd it would be a real hit!
