Cabaret: Original Soundtrack Recording (1972 Film) - 5039

Amazon.com Cheated out of playing nightclub canary Sally Bowles on Broadway in director Hal Price's Cabaret, Liza Minnelli nevertheless delivered an Oscar-winning star turn in Bob Fosse's cinematic reinvention of the show (which had the good sense to retain perverse imp Joel Grey from the stage production). Although the 1972 film discarded several songs from the original score, the new ones sound even better: Minnelli's breast-beating "Maybe This Time," the sultry "Mein Herr," and the salaciously satirical "Money, Money." By placing almost all the pertinent musical action on the stage of the decadent Kit Kit Club, the Kurt Weill-like compositional nuances and political underpinnings bask in the spotlight...that is, when Minnelli stops eclipsing it with her no-holds-barred performance. --Kurt B. Reighley Product Description Starring Liza Minelli as the star of Germany's Kit Kat Club and Joel Gray as the sinister Master of Ceremonies, Cabaret does a stellar job of conveying the frightening mood of WWII Germany. Despite this, it is one of the most entertaining movies ever made. Netting Oscars for Best Direction (Bob Fosse), Best Actress (Minnelli), Best Supporting Actor (Gray) and awards for cinematography, art & set decoration, editing, scoring and sound, this is one of the most honored movie musical in history - now on CD for the first time.
