    "All That Jazz" is one of those films that I have seen
    countless times. Hard to say what grabs one -- others in my short
    list are "Downhill Racer" -- duh, brain just went dead; there are a
    few.
    Roy Scheider is one of my absolute favorite actors. The
    mixture of fear, defiance, recklessness and vulnerability that he
    brought to this role is a winner. About the late, great Bob Fosse who wrote/directed this autobio film, words are inadequate.
