I had high hopes for what I was going to see inside this car. Alas, not one sequined fedora nor languid snapping hand norĀ  swiveling shoulder to be found.

I speak, of course, about the singular vision of the late great Bob Fosse. Follow me, won’t you, to view some of these classic (but perhaps lesser-known) Fosse moments? It helps with you follow me in a low, sexy crouch. Oh, and please thrust those hips.
