Cabaret (1972).
(Bob Fosse, US 1972, 122 min., 35mm)
Summer of Solidarity. Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories and John Van Druten’s play I Am a Camera served as the source material for the Broadway musical that was brilliantly adapted to film by choreographer-director Bob Fosse. Liza Minnelli, in her Academy Award–winning performance, plays Sally Bowles, a singer caught up in the glitz and decadence of interwar Germany. Two of the film’s seven other Oscars went to Fosse and to Joel Grey, who plays the emcee at the immortal Kit Kat Klub.
