@Jcashell89 I don't think he's a stand-in for Stephen Schwartz. I read in one of his biographies, that during the rehearsals for "Pippin" Bob Fosse barred Stephen Schwartz from the theater. I only got to see Pippin on video. William Katt (Greatest American hero played Pippin. Bob Fosse was not involved in the video, and it was NOT a success.

Thank you Bob Fosse!

@shaggycub I don't know if it's true or not, but I have heard that the composer is meant to be a stand-in for Schwartz, and there is an orgy scene in Pippin, so...

bewbs!

I think the film is genius; I love Roy Scheider more than almost any actor I can name; Fosse and his life were more than fascinating; and my wife was a professional dancer, teacher, and choreographer for years. However, I'm trying hard to figure out how this number isn't "lewd and lascivious" (and awfully close to pornographic, if not one foot completely over the line). I'm not a huge fan of that aspect of dance and theater, but I do understand its use in this film.

@TamaraGorin55 I think that you're generally regarding it as much more complex than it actually is. Anyway, I gave my view on the matter already (and I see that we've formed quite a discussion... :D). To conclude, it's a great song and an amazing dance :D Enjoy!

@TheUntranslatable it is the scene where she is practising and he comes in to look for consolation from her because he was struggling with this scene; she calls him out and he gets an aha! moment...which leads to this amazing scene, and particularly the second part of it, which has a direct relation to their conversation. Her reaction is stunningly understated and loving of him, his art, while her heart is clearly broken.

@TamaraGorin55 :D The thing is that I still can't find where precisely does this dance spell 'cheat' :D It has nothing to do with her confronting him.

Absolutely amazing. Nothing else to say about it.
Even after all these years it is STILL the most beautiful modern dance pieces ever. It's like Erotic artwork in motion. Beautiful lines, and amazing what the human body can do.

I love this number, but I am going to comment on Sandahl Bergman: her body is absolutely perfect.
