Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another. MacLaine joins all-star cast members Chita Rivera, Sammy Davis Jr., Ricardo Montalban and Stubby Kaye in belting out thirteen vibrant Cy Coleman-Dorothy Fields' numbers including Big Spender, Rhythm of Life, There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This and the show-stopping If My Friends Could See Me Now. It's an unforgettable production of an all-time classic. Review: TIMELESS SWEETNESS OF A BIG SPENDER WHO HAS THE RHYTHM OF LIFE - The film quality for a 1969 movie, looks just as great now as it did then when I first saw it. It has not aged despite technology advances (like cell phones, computers) as it's not set in that world where they are needed. Curiously it comes across more timelessly than the stage version I saw about 20 years ago. The dancing flawless ( well, Fosse was directing and it was his knockout individualistic dancing style). The music is still great, yeah we have "Big Spender" but it's fun to see Sammy Davis Jr doing his knock out "Rhythm of Life" number (which was a smash hit around the world). Good to also see Stubby Kaye performing his "I Love To Cry At Weddings" in full (for some weird reason in Sydney they cut out half the number). Shirley MacLaine is spot on as the hopelessly always trying to be in love Charity. Ricardo Montalban is also fun as the Latin film star. John McMartin as the shy Oscar should have gone onto bigger and better things in the movies, but he is perfect as the mixed up neurotic and does at least get to perform the title song. In the end, it's still a great musical with great tunes, choreography and a great testament to the very talented Bob Fosse. Review: Pleasant comedy - Good storyline Shirley MacLaine was great. Clear picture.

Clear picture. Has subtitles ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forgotten gem *by M***R on October 18, 2019* This film was released when the movie musical had lost its appeal with the movie-going public, which is a shame, since it had a great deal to offer. The musical sequences are especially memorable, particularly the "Pompeii Club" which is absolutely spectacular. Shirley MacLaine does a great job in the title role and the rest of the cast does credit to the film. The cinematography and sound are excellent. I also own the French issued blu ray of this film and while it is also excellent, it appears to show more grain than this newer release. This is an excellent addition to my film library. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sweet Charity - Cabaret --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11261805-sweet-charity-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11261805-sweet-charity-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
