- Synopsis
- An adaptation of one of the most successful and unusual musicals of all time. A group of Broadway hopefuls auditioning for a place in the chorus line of a new show, relate the stories of their lives -- their disappointments, their dreams, and the professional rejections and successes. Among the dancers trying to make the grade is the director's former lover, a woman who once made it big and now would be grateful just to dance in the chorus.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A classic play has been reduced a decent movie. It's a shame it couldn't be as good as the play; it's a small pleasure"
-
"eThis is one of the most intelligent and compelling movie musicals in a long time"
-
"'Chorus' often seems static and confined, rarely venturing beyond the immediate. Attenborough merely films the stage show as best he could"
-
"[It] is often surprisingly effective and enjoyable, transcending its troubled history"
-
"Richard Attenborough's direction achieves that balance of impersonality and brisk pacing we've come to recognize as 'professionalism'"
-
"Attenborough has done what nobody thought possible - recreate a classic without raping and pillaging the original, though Chorus Line purists will find plenty to moan about."
-
"Director Attenborough's film version has a couple of pleasant numbers which serve as oases amidst the dullness"
