Chicago has so much razzle-dazzle that viewers may end up both raised and dazed. It's remorselessly inventive, trying anything fast and sassy to keep you watching.

Murderesses Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart (who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the dumps in 1920s Chicago. It tells the satirical story of a group of characters living in the windy city, in the roaring twenties: a voluptious vamp that burns in the spotlight, a red-hot mama matron, a greedy, flamboyant lawyer, a wannabe-star chorus girl, and her neglected, suffering, and lovable husband. There lives are interwoven and elaborated on, centering on the chorus girl's rise to fame, through shooting her lover. The genra here is musical. And every number is wildly entertaining, taking on the musical form of a Braudway show. Thisfilm is an ideal musical with a signature opener ( All that Jazz ) , flapper outfits . and each character is rewarded a song of their own, to express themselves throughout the movie. i altogether LOVED this movie and if had the chance would not hesitate to watch the live preformance on stage ....
