| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBob Fosse's first film, a musical based on Felini's Nights of Cabiria, shows a lot of promise, which he will fulfill with the 1972 Cabaret. It was nominated for 3 Oscars, including Best Score. |
| Alternate EndingTim BraytonThere's nothing per se "bad" about this, though it's awfully musty, and in no hurry to move along. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonIf Charity, played by Shirley MacLaine in her sharpest innocent-at-large style, really wants to escape, it's hard to see what is bolding her back. |
| EmpireDavid ParkinsonThis has a lot of good ingredients but just doesn't quite manage to pull it off. It's looks dated and Shirley Maclaine doesn't quite capture the sympathies of all audiences. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelSweet Charity, the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, has been so enlarged and so inflated that it has become another maximal movie: a long, noisy and, finally, dim imitation of its source material. |
