Bob Fosse was the academy award winning director of the movie Cabaret. He also directed the movie All that Jazz, an autobiographical story about a movie director who drinks and womanizes too much, and ends up dying of a heart attack. Gottfried takes the title of his biography of Fosse from this movie because Fosse actually died of a heart attack, eight years after filming All the Jazz.

Fosse choregraphed and directed great Broadway musicals, including Sweet Charity, Pippin, and Chicago. Gottfried's book is a treasure trove of character studies of some of the great Broadway and Hollywood producers, writers and actors, including Dustin Hoffman, Neil Simon and Gwen Verdon.
