[edit] Discussion

how did this movie have a historical impact?

Does anyone else agree that it isn't "ironic" that Chicago was filmed in Toronto and not actually in Chicago? It's "interesting" or "incidental" but not ironic. 67.162.166.143 04:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I do rather think that where this movie was filmed doesn't at all matter, considering it is a Musical. I'd think it was mostly soundstage and the outdoor shots look to be mostly just lots and cgi. A film of this style and budget doesn't require on site shooting and it should only be a dot point that it was filmed in Toronto JayKeaton 16:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Where most movies or TV shows are filmed doesn't matter. My Big Fat Greek Wedding was also filmed partly in Toronto. The American Queer as Folk was partly filmed in Toronto. it's already well-known that it is cheaper to make movies in Canada. The reimagined BattleStar Galactica cast is rife with Canadians although it is always considered an American show.--WPaulB 18:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Is there any interest in explaining why songs didn't appear in the film? The song Me and My Baby is not sung, but is played in the background music at the moment Roxie is being tested for pregnancy. THe song "I Know A Girl" isn't in the movie but I didn't notice if it was in the background music. Does anyone know why this one was dropped? --WPaulB 03:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler warning?

Since the "Synopsis" section contains information relating to the plot of the movie, I believe that there should be a spoiler warning placed before it. Herenthere (Talk) 01:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Catherine zeta jones1.jpg

Image:Catherine zeta jones1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] The songs in Chicago

I editted out the song titles for the various parts of the movie, in the plot description. Song listings, as well as who sang them, should be listed separately from the plot summary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.2.156 (talk) 23:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
