| Summary: |
| Adapted from the Broadway show, this hard-hitting musical drama is set in decadent 1930s Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. The film chronicles the friendship between Cambridge student Brian Roberts (Michael York) with the high-spirited Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), a singer at the sleazy Kit Kat nightclub, where the anti-Semitic Emcee (Joel Grey) sets a tone of debauchery. Fabulous slick direction with highly-memorable songs. |
| What the Critics say: |
| "Superbly choreographed by Fosse, the cabaret numbers evoke the Berlin of 1931 - city of gaiety and perversion, of champagne and Nazi propaganda - so vividly that only an idiot could fail to perceive that something is rotten in the state of Weimar." (Tom Milne - Time Out) |
