“Itu0026#39;s a wonderful irony that the non-singing original Roxie Hart, so familiar from the stage show and movie of u0026#39;Chicagou0026#39; was played by one of the top musical stars of the u0026#39;30s – Ginger Rogers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd how she sells it – she could so have topped Renee, good as she is, had the musical have been available then.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the u0026#39;straightu0026#39; play is well worth a look. Adolphe Menjou never disappoints, and gives the tastier Richard Gere a lesson in character acting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother in the wonderful, scathing films of my Hollywood at its best, satirising itself and the media, along with u0026#39;His Girl Fridayu0026#39;, u0026#39;The Stand-inu0026#39;, and, in more serious vein, u0026#39;Citizen Kaneu0026#39;.”
