Or only in the generic sense that any semi-autobiographical film about a director's travails is now going to be compared to 8 1/2.

Doubly wrong, sorry. Joe Gideon's ex-wife (roughly corresponding to Gwen Verdon in real life) WAS played by Leland Palmer, a dancer who had appeared in Fosse's stage shows PIPPIN and (as a replacement) CHICAGO. And Bob Fosse was NOT ever married to Ann Reinking, who plays his current girlfriend in the movie. Jon Alan Conrad
