Taxi dancer Charity continues to have faith in the human race despite apparently endless disappointments at its hands, and hope that she will finally meet the nice young man to romance her away from her sleazy life. Maybe, just maybe, handsome Oscar will be the one to do it.
Sweet Charity is a 1969 American musical comedy-drama film directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse in his film directorial debut. It is adapted by Peter Stone from the 1966 stage musical of the same name—also directed and choreographed by Fosse—in turn based on the 1957 Federico Fellini film Nights of Cabiria.
