Poor Harrison! He got nothing at the end, let alone becoming a governor. Instead, he had to let Velma go free so that she can testify against Roxie, but Billy manages to save Roxie and Harrison loses the most important case of his career.
Velma seems too comfortable in jail and she's too strong and iron-willed. While Roxie, after seeing the Hunyak hang, desperately wanted to be out of jail at any cost, Velma knew that Billy would save her and she wasn't too desperate like Roxie to get out of jail!
when Roxie said "...and she broke the lock" she acted dumb. Because Billy says she never kept a diary. If she never kept a diary, how did she know it was in her cell locker?
@jahangirhussain1 Normally, prisoners can have their sentences reduced if they testify against another prisoner. Compound that with the incredibly high corruption level in Chicago, and it lets her get off scot-free.
@videogamer810 thanks! but velma is a dangerous woman. she committed a double homicide! and that too of her husband and sister! how does a mere testifying get her off the hook?
@videogamer810 Velma makes a deal with Harrison to drop all charges against her in exchange of testifying against Roxie. So he lets her go free after she reads Roxie's diary in court.
I love how you can see Flynn mouthing along when Roxie says "To save my husband's innocent unborn child!" As if that doesn't give away how they planned every word of the defense... lol
I wish they didn't cut out class. It's on YouTube and it is fantastic. One of the best scenes. And I don't really like RZ but I LOVE CZJ. She's incredible
BTW: Why do you refer to his character as "the bad one"? He's just trying to see that justice is served. Billy Flynn is the bad lawyer as in villainous.
if shes expecting a 'visitor' then technically they cant hang her until 6 months after the child has been born. Otherwise it would be 2 murders, one legal and one illegal. Great Movie! Just saying
I don't think this movie means what it's about on the surface. I think the movie (and the play) is all about how some people can get away with murder just because they're rich.
@UponWishingStars Uh, no, they meant immoral. Not abnormal. They were closer than you were... Don't correct people unless you're absolutely sure you're right!
@UponWishingStars Well... I'm just going on a hunch here, but I think when someone says unmoral, they don't know the prefix for that word is supposed to be im-. I'm absolutely sure they didn't mean to say this movie is "abnormal." Sorry, no offense (ugh, don't you hate it when you say no offense, and yet it comes off as mean? Grrr I hope you don't think I'm mean! I'm just a correction freak... my friends get really annoyed at me when i correct them lol)!
i don't know if i made myself clear: if he could tap dance, this scene would be useless.
the purpose of the scene is that tap dancing is difficult to him, just like that bit in court. he's struggling in both cases. it's a metaphor, but i think everybody got that.
Sorry, i know this is an old comment but i have to correct you; he isn't tap dancing badly cos he's struggling, it's supposed to be a "dance of victory" cos he is bringing the case to it's conclusion and successfully getting her off a murder charge! I mean he even manipulated hr husband into filing for divorce to win the publics sympathy for her and he wrote in her diary so that when it was read out in court he could say the opposing counsel tampered with the evidence. no struggle at all!!
again: i like the scene and i don't think the purpose of it was to show a great tap dancer. it's the opposite. he does it badly, and that's the way it should be done here. he should struggle. simple like that.
Wait a minute ... you're saying he can't tap because he's not as good as two of the world's greatest? A lot of people can tap without being anywhere near that good. Sure he can tap dance. He couldn't make a living doing it full-time, but he can do it.
I'm not saying that this scene is not good or important. i think it is and it should be in the movie. but it's kinda painful to watch him tap dancing because is not natural. i enjoy seeing great tap dancers, because that's the purpose of watching one in action.
he can't make a living out of this, it's true. so why is he making it? why is he tap dancing here?
Have you ever heard the phrase "tap dancing around the truth"? That's what he's doing here, and they illustrate the phrase by having him actually tap dance. Just like in a previous scene "Razzle Dazzle 'Em" where they illustrate it by the circus performance.
"It's outrageous to even suggest that the prosecutor would make a thieves' bargain with notorious Velma Kelly!"-great dialogue Mr. Flynn
