Roy Scheider delivers a powerhouse performance as the director of a Broadway production whose workaholic lifestyle is punctuated by a substance abuse problem that allows him to keep up with his various relationships and demanding career. This wildly imaginative musical with dazzling dance numbers is one of the most creatively ambitious films of the โ€˜70s. All That Jazz was nominated for 9 Academy Awards, won the Palme dโ€™Or and even had Stanley Kubrick calling it โ€œthe best film I think I have ever seen.โ€
