The protagonist in the film is a veteran Broadway director named Joe Gideon. He is imaginative, does his own way, and is full of talents. However, because he has not established lofty ideals and a correct outlook on life and world, the pressure of work and emotional indulgence make him discouraged and tired of the world. His health went from bad to worse, and finally in the song and dance of his work, Gideon hummed "Goodbye My Love" on the operating table and embarked on a road of no return //// Whoever wrote this profile!

While Bob Fosse was directing and choreographing the Broadway musical "Chicago," his third film, "Lennie's Story," was in post-production, under double pressure, overwhelmed by alcohol, cigarettes, and all kinds of drugs. He, Foss, had a near-death experience after suffering a heart attack. This experience was later put on the screen by him. Although this semi-autobiographical film has a strong narcissistic tendency, it is relatively objective and does not overly whitewash Fox's own derailment.

"Amakod" by St. John's - Remembrance and Retrospect on the Dying. Eight years after the film was released, the content of "Jazz Spring and Autumn" has become a reality like a prophecy, which is very sad.
