Cabaret (Blu-ray)

Winner of eight Academy Awards, Cabaret brings 1931 Berlin to madcap and menacing life inside and outside the Kit Kat Club. There, starry-eyed singer/actress Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish emcee (Joel Grey) sound the clarion call to decadent fun, while in the streets a certain political party grows from laughing stock to brutal force. Cabaret caught lightning for Minnelli, Grey and director Bob Fosse, who shaped a triumph of style, showmanship and substance. All three won Oscars, as did cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth and music supervisor Ralph Burns, who adapted the dynamic John Kander/Fred Ebb score, with "Mein Herr”, "The Money Song” and "Maybe This Time” all newly supplied for the film.

A British writer comes to Berlin in the early 1930s in hopes of becoming a teacher. He makes the acquaintance of flamboyant American entertainer Sally Bowles who works at the Kit Kat Klub, a Berlin style cabaret where each night the smirking, and rogynous Master of Ceremonies introduces a jazz-driven ”girlie show” to his debauched audience with musical numbers commenting on Germany’s ”progression” from hedonism to Hitlerism. Winner Best Actress and Best Director.
