At a time when crimes of passion result in celebrity headlines, nightclub sensation Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) and spotlight-seeking Roxie Hart (Zellweger) both find themselves sharing space on Chicago's famed Murderess Row! They also share Billy Flynn (Gere), the town's slickest lawyer with a talent for turning notorious defendants into local legends. But in Chicago there's only room for one legend!

Special Features

• Feature commentary with director Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon. An interesting and above average trip through the film with the co-creators talking about their aims and the challenges of adapting the property for film.
• Movie Showcase. One of the early add-ons to Blu-rays, now wisely jettisoned, this is a useless highlighting of the "best" high def scenes from the film.
• Class. One of the funniest bits from the original stage version gets an alternate treatment here.
• From Stage To Screen: The History of Chicago (27 minutes). An interesting, if not always strictly accurate, look at the history of the stage version. (The original was nowhere near a flop, running for almost three years. That said, it certainly didn't have the cachet of the 1996 revival).
• Behind The Scenes Special. (30 minutes). A standard making-of featurette.
• Extended/Alternate Musical Performances. This supplement offers extended versions of "All That Jazz," "When You're Good To Mama," "Cell Block Tango," "We Both Reached For The Gun," "Mister Cellophane," and "All I Care About." Additional sections feature interviews and rehearsals, including "All I Care About," "Nowadays," "All That Jazz," "We Can't Do It Alone," "Hot Honey Rag," "We Both Reached For The Gun," and "Cell Block Tango."
• An Intimate Look at Director Rob Marshall. (11 minutes). Despite featuring Zellweger and Reilly, this is a bit too self-congratulatory for my own taste and made me wonder if Marshall himself crafted it.
• When Liza Minnelli Became Roxie Hart. (6 minutes). Liza did indeed replace Gwen Verdon for part of the run and that's well detailed here, including some great vintage footage of Ms. Minnelli (not from the show).
• Academy Award-Winning Production Designer John Myhre. (6 minutes) An interesting, if brief, look at recreating the show's quasi-thirties feel.
• Academy Award-Winning Costume Designer Colleen Atwood. (6 minutes). A similarly interesting, if similarly brief, look at the great costumes which are a highlight of the film.
