Chicago ****½ (2002, Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah) – Classic Movie Review 416

Renée Zellweger (as Roxy Hart) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (as Velma Kelly) are sensational, singing and dancing like grand old troupers, as heartless molls on death row, in director Rob Marshall’s red-hot, six Oscar-winning movie of Fred […]
