Christi Dodge and Mike Dodge discuss the 1985 film "A Chorus Line," directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Michael Douglas, Terence Mann, and Audrey Landers. They analyze the film's cinematography, character development, and the use of a silhouetted director to create a mysterious figure. They note the film's realistic style, the use of full-length mirrors on stage, and the challenges of highlighting dancers in a crowded scene. They also discuss the film's financial performance, which was lackluster despite a $25 million budget, and its mixed critical reception. The hosts reflect on the film's impact and its place in the history of movie musicals.
