This energetic adaptation of the hit Broadway musical (and the 1942 film, Roxie Hart) was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and won a Best Picture Oscar and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for star Catherine Zeta-Jones. The tale of two jailed murderesses competing for headlines and attention in 1920's Chicago is replete with glitz, glamour, fine musical numbers and great performances by Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere and Queen Latifah. A classy, fun big-screen musical re-imagined for today's audiences. "Stirring, intelligent and exciting" (Washington Post).
