A young American singer, Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), arrives in 1930s Berlin. She becomes involved with a British teacher, Brian Roberts (Michael York), and then they both become entangled with a German playboy. Sourced from the Berlin stories of Christopher Isherwood, the film is an extensive remodelling of the 1966 stage musical by Kander and Ebb, with new songs and a sharp focus on the decadent Kit Kat club, presided over by a sinister Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey). As Sally's story unfolds, we witness the rise of the Nazis. Directed by Bob Fosse, and released in 1972, it went on to win eight Oscars including best director and best actress.
