Partly factual, partly (for legal reasons) evasive, and always speculative, Fosse’s final film is his most explicit and grim meditation on the downside of fame and the violence perpetuated by machismo. The film deals with the meteoric rise to stardom of naïve girl-next-door type Dorothy Stratten (Hemingway), Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 1980 who was murdered by her estranged and narcissistic husband-manager, Paul Snider (Roberts). Cliff Robertson is cannily believable as Hugh Hefner, symbol of the artificial world of Southern California glitz and glamour, while famed Swedish cameraman Sven Nykvist minimizes that world’s luster with his earth-toned cinematography.

Fosse was in demand. The following year he worked alongside Abbott again on Damn Yankees, an unlikely combination of the Faust myth and baseball, chiefly remembered for the seductive Gwen Verdon as the devil's sexiest demon, singing 'Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets'.

In 1974, Fosse, by now an Oakland Athletic, had an even closer brush with disaster. On June 5 he suffered a crushed disk in his neck attempting to break up a clubhouse fight between teammates Reggie Jackson and Bill North. He was on the disabled list for three months.

As ``Fosse'' flows from Broadway to Hollywood and back, the show feels at once generous and withholding. The first big gift comes from the muscular, long-limbed Terace Jones, who uncoils the ``Percussion 4'' solo from ``Dancin' '' with palpable heat. ``Big Spender,'' the witty number for glassy-eyed slatterns at a dance barre, follows. Sex was Fosse's perpetual theme, tossed off and ground to dust here by the women's impatiently flexed heels.

Fosse was born on June 23, 1927. Throughout his life won too many awards to count and led a career that has been matched by none when he died on September 23, 1987.
