Interesting observation. IMHO, Grey's sharp white face morphing mad-eyed in the mirror remains one of the strangest, eye-catching openings scenes in modern cinema. Norman Bates on crack, if you will. The first five minutes are Fosse at his best, a man who clearly appreciated the threat and power of sexual attraction in all its forms, especially dance. You can also probably thank David Bretherton for the visual snap and pop of that moment. Certainly didn't expect to read about it here. Bravo.
