I heard somewhere that the costume guys did not have any idea of what Sammy should wear for this sequence, he just showed up in his street clothes, and this was them. how cool was Sammy!?
My elementary school teacher (grades 3-5) taught all of us (her students) this song. We used to sing it in, essentially, a choir. Sure, it was slightly modified, but... Well damn, I've never been so confused and mortified. This is fucking AWESOME.
For some reason this Video will NOT show up in Favorites when I search through my Blu Ray Player. I want to watch it on my TV!! EVERY other video shows up BUT this one!!!
Sammy Davis was a member of anton levays satanci club in san fransico, a really nice mexian lady told me that she and her mother lived in his home in florida, as maids, said that sammy wore a pink thong.
If hollywood ever wanted to remake this(don't laugh it CAN happen) I can definitely see the part of Big Daddy being played by Phil Lewis (Moseby "Suite Life" or T. C. Carson (Kyle Barker "Living Single").
Boo to the sad loser who gave this a thumbs down... Did he watch the same clip as us? Brilliant, ive watched this sooo many times!!! Thanks for posting
Awesome thank you so much for uploading this. I have been looking for a decent copy of this for ages. I love this song and Sammy Davis is massively underrated.
There's need to be a new Sweet Charity movie!! I would watch it everyday!!!

America used to produce amazing entertainment like this, now it's all grown Men dressing up as a "Batman" or crime fighting 3D animated rodents.
America no longer makes any real cinema at all, European cinema is much better now.
