Chicago (1927), the silent original, with Jim Riggs at the Wurlitzer organ

Based on a true crime story, the movie is about a wild jazz-loving and boozing wife Roxie Hart (Phyllis Haver) who kills her boyfriend in cold blood after he leaves her, and how she finagles her way out being convicted. Remade once as a movie, and as a Broadway musical.

Roxie Hart (1942)

To try and kick-start her show-business career, our heroine (Ginger Rogers as Roxie Hart) admits to a Chicago murder. But although Cook County don't seem to let dames swing, and even with top slippery lawyer Billy Flynn (Adolphe Menjou), it's all something of a gamble.
