It is the story about Charity
a young woman (played by Shirley MacLaine)
who is endearing, honest, trusting,
wanting to love and waiting to be loved.
Yet, finally realising that to live
“hopefully ever after” instead of happily ever after
is sometimes the more realistically obtainable.
…
And action ! …
‘The Rhythm of Life’
is sung by Sammy Davis Jr.
The scene is a visual feast of quintessential ’60s fashion vibe:
prints
paisley
vibrant colour combos
fur gilets
tight leather trousers
wide leg jeans
bell bottoms
floral garland headband
feather head dress
stock heel leather ankle boots
suede knee high boots with fringe
large belts cinched at waist
bold jewelry
tunic tops
and
Feeling groovy in fearless fashion!
