The 1972 film was adapted from the Broadway stage production (1966). The stage production was based on John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera, and the novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood. The story focus on the nightlife of 1931 Berlin as the Nazis rise to power. Liza Minnelli stars as young Sally Bowles who works at the Kit Kat Klub as an cabaret performer. Sally falls for a young American writer named Brian Roberts, played by Michael York .
My favorite character is the Emcee, who oversees all the action and is played by Joel Grey. He presides as master of ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub and throughout the show he serves as a constant metaphor for the state of society in Weimar Germany during that time.Cabaret was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 1973 and won 8: including Best Director Bob Fosse, Best Actress Liza Minnelli, Best Actor in a Supporting Role Joel Grey, Cinematography, Editing, Music, Art Direction, and Sound. It lost Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay to The Godfather.
