I have always enjoyed O’Connor’s dancing more than Kelly’s, especially in this movie. Watching them side by side, I see more fluidity in O’Connor’s technique. He was also more light on his feet than Kelly. I prefer O’Connor any day of the week.
No, I haven’t.
I didn't expect anyone to see my post let alone reply to it. This thread is years old with no current posts.
Damn....wish they had cast Gwen as Charity. Just finished watching the mini series "Fosse/Verdon" and I'm on a Fosse/Verdon "kick". That is why I'm here...... late to the party.
I always appreciated Gwen Verdon's talent and love her dancing. After watching YouTube videos of Gwen's dancing in "If They Could See Me Know" and "I'm a Brass Band", Shirley could not hold a candle to Verdon's extraordinary dancing. She was the best Fosse dancer there was and was mentored by the master himself for years. Charity was always Verdon's role and I don't know why Fosse allowed the producers to get their way by casting a Hollywood name.
