About Merely Marvelous: The Dancing Genius of Gwen Verdon
Merely Marvelous is a celebration of the art and life of Broadway's greatest dancing star, Gwen Verdon. She overcame many obstacles, including rickets, the Hollywood system, a loveless first marriage and a difficult second marriage to choreographer/director Bob Fosse, to become a multi-Tony Award-winning performer. Gwen's life is told through interviews with family members and theatre associates as well as a mine of rare footage from her Broadway and Hollywood careers. Merely Marvelous is the story of a brave woman who rose to the very top of her profession.
Directed by Ken Bloom, Dennis Fill, Chris Johnson, Merely Marvelous: The Dancing Genius of Gwen Verdon leans on a strong ensemble — Gwen Verdon, Bob Fosse, Nicole Fosse — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2019.
