The Bottom Line:
A Chorus Line is a classic example of something working on stage but not on screen--the musical was a revolutionary piece of musical theater, but the movie just feels uninspired and ordinary; the film may be of interest to those who like musicals, but it's not very accomplished.
 An excellent gift
I gave this dvd to a dear friend of mine. It's an excellent musical and it originated a famous tv series.
 Song, Dance, and interesting characters
A Chorus Line allows us to watch as a director (Michael Douglas) selects the men and women he wants in the chorus of a play he will direct. He asks the people who have come to try out to tell him something about themselves, since members of the chorus will have bit parts in the play. Among those trying out are a married couple, a woman who has acted for the Douglas character before, a young man involved in gay theater without his family's knowledge, and one of the great loves of the director's life.
While it's difficult to imagine an actual try-out being conducted along these lines, it does offer an opportunity for the audience to get to know the often-anonymous chorus and for each of the chorus members to have a moment (or more) to shine.
Chorus Line DVD
The movie is great; however a sequence where BeBe is asked to demonstrate a solo is missing.
A Chorus Line
A very good movie. A precursor to the play at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore.
