Michael Douglas delivers an outstanding performance as the Director of a chorus line inside "A Chorus Line." It's like a mise en scene of mirrors that have never ending images in them the more I look into them. No one particularly stands out in the show as a star, but Douglas (Zach) which is probably a credit to the actual choreographer, Jeffrey Hornaday, who must have guided the chorus line into behaving as a tight unit rather than a bunch of segregated gypsy dancers all jockeying for favor, position, and recognition.
Based upon the longest running Broadway musical, winner of 9 Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and 3 Oscar nominations, this DVD version doesn't let me down one bit. It's as great on screen as in the theater.
Having been a chorus line dancer myself for many years, "A Chorus Line" from cattle calls to draining rehearsals, and finally to performances is as true to a gypsy dancer's life as it gets.
Though it was rated PG-13, there's no reason why it shouldn't be PG and pure entertainment for the whole family. Gather round and watch one of the finest chorus lines ever.
