Closed Captioned; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles Sally Bowles, a singer at the Kit Kat Klub, is an American caught up in the faux-glamour of prewar Berlin. Although Sally giddily ignores the decadence that has begun to permeate every aspect of society, her Jewish friend Natasha cannot; Natasha constantly faces persecution by Nazi authorities, and her lover has entirely hidden his Jewish identity.
But Sally continues to bury herself in her own problems: in addition to the difficulties of sharing her bisexual English lover with a wealthy German homosexual, she keeps getting more and more drawn in by the sleazy and sinister atmosphere of the Kit Kat Klub. The final shot of the hit film CABARET is a Nazi meeting reflected in a mirror, providing the chilling historical subtext for this groundbreaking musical movie, set in prewar Berlin. Not since GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) had Hollywood produced a more successful film. CABARET was a convention-shattering story that dealt with themes like bisexuality that were still under the radar in the US. Additionally, CABARET made the enormously talented Liza Minnelli an American icon.
Minnelli plays Sally Bowles, an aspiring singer and dancer. The main plot revolves around her relationship with two different men and her life as a singer at the Kit Kat Klub. The film utilizes the traditional conventions of American musical theater while adding in the fiendishly painted Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) who comments on the proceedings through song and dance. Director Bob Fosse showcases the range of his vision as a director of stage and screen, serving as both choreographer and musical director.
Based on the Kander-Ebb musical from John van Druten's play I AM A CAMERA (which, in turn, was derived from Christopher Isherwood's novel GOODBYE
TO BERLIN), CABARET was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won eight,
making it one of the most acclaimed films in movie history. Theatrical release: February 13, 1972
CABARET was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1995.
According to the authors of INSIDE OSCAR composers John Kander and Fred Ebb wrote the Broadway musical CABARET as a vehicle showcasing their good friend Liza Minnelli. Hal Prince, the producer and director, thought Minnelli too "inexperienced" and gave the role to Jill Haworth instead. The show became the biggest Broadway hit between 1966 and 1967.
When the film of the musical was finally in the making, Liza Minnelli had secured stardom, having just received an Oscar nomination for the 1969 film THE STERILE CUCKOO. Reportedly, Liza's was very excited about the film: "We're trying to show the dirt and decadence and the perverse atmosphere of Berlin when the Nazis came to power...."

Cabaret Movie Review  The evere lasting film
This is the musical film with serious subject. Due to my opinion this is one of the best anti-war film. Gathering famous and talented artists the film even got necessary personal quality weight. Besides all, the film has the story of love, music and historical moral. I would always suggest this film.

The Film - The Show
I saw the film in 1972 it was wonderful, it still is. This year I visited New York, the third day I visited GROUND ZERO to view what evil people can do, it was so moving. That evening I saw the Broadway production of CABARET, It was so wonderful and I would recommend both the show and the film.
The story highlights what evils natzi Germany could have bestowed on the world, GROUND ZERO is living proof of what evil people can achieve.
GOD BLESS AMERICA and MY own beloved Great britain

| | Destry Rides Again DVD (1939) Full Frame; Subtitled
Cabaret movie DVD
$9.69
DESTRY RIDES AGAIN will forever be remembered for Marlene Dietrich's performance as Frenchy, a crooked saloon waitress with a heart of gold. Her rendition of "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" is one of the highlights of her career. But DESTRY RIDES AGAIN has much more to offer than just Dietrich's performance. This hilarious satire carries Jimmy Stewart in the lead as Tom Destry, a supposedly tough law enforcement man who doesn't like guns. Stewart's comic touches are brilliant as he eagerly gives out educational anecdotes anytime an opportunity affords itself. The plot concerns the efforts of a saloon owner and a corrupt Mayor to rob the local cowpokes blind. Frenchy's on the payroll of the bad guys, but when sparks fly between her and Destry, her loyalty becomes a deciding factor in whether it's Destry or the bad guys who will ride off into the sunset.

| | Little Caesar DVD (1930) Full Frame; Subtitled
Cabaret film
$14.85 
With its focus on character flaws instead of plot devices, LITTLE CAESAR is the mother of the modern gangster flick. Edward G. Robinson stars as Enrico Bandelli in the role that made him a household name. Bandelli moves to the big city with partner in crime Joe Massara (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) and becomes a member of Sam Vettori's Mafia gang. In spite of the urgings of pretty girl Olga Strassoff (Glenda Farell) to quit the mob, Rico quickly becomes the head of the Vettori gang and with a couple of quick kills scares mob boss Arnie Lorch back to Detroit. Bandelli, dubbed Little Caesar by the press, is known as a boss in his own right, but what goes up must come down in this tale of excessive hubris. At the time of its release, the stacatto sound design for LITTLE CAESAR was leagues ahead of its early talkie contemporaries. But what keeps the film alive is the fine script and the startling performance from Edward G. Robinson.
Gangster classic involving a small-time hood who becomes a mob big shot. Director: Mervyn Le Roy, Edward Robinson, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

Michelle Pfeiffer's sister Dedee stars in this action-packed thriller which may make viewers think twice about taking a luxurious swim in the ocean next time they're on vacation.
Drs. Nathan and Marla Collins are shark experts working on a top-secret government project: to protect our shorelines by creating controlled shark patrols.

| | Rambo - Up In Arms DVD (1987)
Cabaret video
$7.09
This popular animated show from the 1980s was based on the movie franchise starring Sylvester Stallone. John Rambo heads up the Force of Freedom, the military unit that battles the evil organization known as S.A.V.A.G.E., made up of the nefarious General Warhawk and his crew of baddies. With plenty of violence, gunplay, and knife-fighting, the show nonetheless portrays the violence as a last resort, with no gore and few actual deaths. Though it only aired for one season, the show gained quite a cult following, and the 11 episodes included here represent a healthy portion of RAMBO. The collection includes "Attack on El Dorado," "Disaster in Delgado," "Texas Inferno," and "Beneath the Streets."
