One of my favourite scenes ever. It is from the great movie All that jazz, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse the Great, and the main character is played by Roy Scheider. The movie tells the story of a director/writer/choreographer (Joe Gideon) that suffers a heart attack because of his self-destroying lifestyle. In fact, the movie is based on Bob Fosse's life, one of the greatest directors and choreographers ever. Some of the characters in the movie are performed by themselves, for example, Ann Reinking plays the part of Joe Gideon's lover, when in fact, she used to be Bob's mistress some years before the movie was filmed. A curious anecdote is that Bob made her pass an audition, when it was obvious that she was the best person for the part as she would be playing herself.
Roy Scheider is amazing in this film. I had never seen such a good performance. It gives you the impression that you are seeing a documentary instead of a fictional movie.
In this scene, which is one of the most adorable and sensitive scenes I've ever seen is performed by Ann Reinking and Erzsebet Foldi, who beautifully plays the part of Joe's daughter. This scene is enough to show you the relationships between the three characters, how the daughter admires her father, how the father kind of regrets what he's doing with his life, and how he actually loves his lover.
This scene will bring a smile to your face.

The lyrics:
EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
When trumpets were mellow
And every gal only had one fellow
No need to remember when
Cause everything old is new again
Dancin' at ya
Long Island Jazz Age parties
Waiter, let me have some more Bacardis
Let's order now what they ordered then
Cause everything old is new again
Get out your white suit,
your tap shoes and tails
Let's go backwards when forward fails
And movie stars that you thought were long dead,
Now are framed beside your bed
Don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
Get out your white suit,
your tap shoes and tails
Let's go backwards when all else fails
Leave Greta Garbo alone
Be a movie star on your own
And don't throw
Don't throw the past away
We're all gonna need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
I might fall in love with you again
