CHORUS LINE- The Movie

[pepper1dancer]

I just swiped my sisters copy of this film. I have watched this thing all week, scanning to the dance scenes, the music, the characters weaknesses and strengths, this Movie is awesome. The dancing and the Music are great. Was this movie released over-seas? Does anyone know what happened to the actors?(other than Michael Douglas). I heard the black actor died of Aids a few years ago. Thanks.........

It was never a big hit over here. The dancemovie (not Disco movie) that was big in Belgium was "All That Jazz" from 1979.

I remember all my girlfriends were into that one and many went to Jazz-dance lessons after seeing it. "Chorus line" didn't have that effect nor impact. It's a long time I've seen it, I'll check it out again one of these days. BTW later the girliez fell for "Dirty Dancing" :o . Oh how I hate that one :evil: What a bummer was that :evil:

When CHORUS LINE was realesed there was some unfortunate confusion going on regarding that and a porno film of almost the same title that was rushed out and got advertised as "Chorus Line". Outside sleazy cinemas the ads to the porn version were somewhat similar to the real thing, so maybe people actually paid to see a wrong film. I hope so.

It flopped just about everywhere :roll: Because it wasn't very good. I remember seeing the UK premiere on TV back in 1985, and seeing the clips of it and thinking that it looked really slushy and sentimental...It was. I don't think an audience could relate to the characters very easily. The critics panned it, and it just died at the box office. I remember seeing Vicki Frederick in an episode of Dream On years ago, and Audrey Landers was in Dallas a few times in the '80s. As far as what happened to the rest of the cast, I dunno.
