It was adapted by Peter Stone from the 1966 stage musical—also directed and choreographed by Fosse— in turn based on the 1957 film _Nights of Cabiria._\n>\n> It stars Shirley MacLaine in the title role, a taxi dancer at a Times Square dance hall. The cast also features John McMartin, Chita Rivera, Paula Kelly, Stubby Kaye, Ricardo Montalbán, and Sammy Davis Jr.\n\nIn terms of typography, the movie posters follow the lead of the musical, see for example the album cover from 1966, and prominently feature a slanted **Caruso Roxy**.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source:  filmartgallery.com **Film Art Gallery.
