On this day, December 13, 1985, A Chorus Line had its nationwide release in theaters across the U.S. Based on the acclaimed Broadway musical, the film starred Michael Douglas as Zach, a director auditioning dancers for a major Broadway production.

The film adaptation of A Chorus Line had its New York City premiere on December 9, 1985, followed by an opening in Los Angeles on December 11, 1985, before its wider U.S. release on December 13. With iconic songs like “What I Did for Love” and “One,” the movie attempted to bring the magic of the stage production to the silver screen.

While it received mixed reviews for its changes to the original, it remains a unique take on the Broadway classic.
