Lenny

Dustin Hoffman as the infamous Jewish Cabaret entertainer Lenny Bruce who made a career out of redefining the public sense of decency and morality. Not a pleasant business, all things considered, but this film 1974 film manages to show all the corruption and righteousness on both sides of the coin with considerable flair. For jazz buffs there's some excellent music.

Director Bob Fosse's ability to bring out the sordidness of cabaret life in the very midst of its excitment remains from his earlier films "Sweet Charity" and "Cabaret", but gone is the Sentimentality which also characterised those films.
