Sweet Charity is a musical with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields and book by Neil Simon. It was directed and choreographed for Broadway by Bob Fosse starring his wife and muse Gwen Verdon alongside John McMartin. It is based on Federico Fellini's screenplay for Nights of Cabiria. However, where Fellini's black-and-white Italian film concerns the romantic ups-and-downs of an ever-hopeful prostitute, in the musical the central character is a dancer-for-hire at a Times Square dance hall. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1966, where it was nominated for 9 Tony Awards, and also ran in the West End as well as having revivals and international productions. The musical was adapted for the screen in 1969 with Shirley MacLaine as Charity and John McMartin recreating his Broadway role as Oscar Lindquist. Bob Fosse directed and choreographed this film.

An ambitious young crime
journalist probes the dark underbelly of L.A. in this cynical urban drama that
marks the feature directorial debut of film writer Dan Gilroy (Real Steal, The
Bourne Legacy). Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a petty thief in search of a
payday when he stumbles onto the scene of a grisly car accident, and witnesses
seasoned "Nightcrawler" Joe Loder (Bill Paxton) gathering video
footage for a local news broadcast. Convinced that this is a career he could
excel at, Lou promptly purchases a police scanner and a cheap video camera, and
hits the streets. In short order Lou has hired an assistant (Riz Ahmed) to help
him navigate the city streets, and started selling footage to local TV producer
Nina (Rene Russo), one of Joe's regular buyers. A fast learner with an eye for
detail, Lou isn't above manipulating a crime scene in order to get a picture
that tells a story. When Lou beats the police to the scene of a deadly home
invasion in an affluent neighborhood, however, his shocking footage catches the
attention of two homicide detectives who suspect he's hiding evidence that
could be crucial to their investigation. But that very footage may be just what
Lou needs to enter the big time.
