Actor Margaret Qualley, who rose to further prominence following her acclaimed role in The Substance, has named Bob Fosse's 1979 musical drama All That Jazz as her all-time favourite film. Speaking during a visit to the Criterion Closet, she praised both the film and its director, noting that portraying Ann Reinking's character Katie in the TV series Fosse/Verdon was a particularly meaningful connection to the work. Her admiration underscores the enduring critical reputation of Fosse's most personal and celebrated project decades after its release.

All That Jazz stars Roy Scheider as Joe, a character based on Fosse himself, depicting a director-choreographer whose life unravels amid overwork, alcohol and excess while juggling a film and a Broadway show. The film received nine Academy Award nominations, winning four, including Best Art Direction, and has also been praised by figures such as Stanley Kubrick, who called it the best film he had ever seen. Qualley described Fosse as the person she would most want to meet, saying she would rather dance with him than have dinner.
