Trivia

Bob Fosse went over-budget before filming the famous "Bye, Bye Life" finale, and Columbia refused to give him any more money. At an impasse, Columbia execs privately showcased for the president of Twentieth Century-Fox much of what was in the can. Impressed, he agreed that Fox would finance the remainder of the shoot; he also asked for and received distribution & cable rights. Profits from "All That Jazz" were split according to the contract between Columbia and Fox, although Fox receives top billing over Columbia in the credits. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In a closeup of back of Joe's head during Bye Bye Love number, a large strip of Scotch tape is inexplicably running across back of his head. See more »
