Cabaret

Cabaret is an American musical drama film released in 1972. The film is loosely based on the 1966 Broadway musical Cabaret by Kander and Ebb, which was adapted from Christopher Isherwood's semi-autobiographical novel The Berlin Stories (1945), and the 1951 play I Am a Camera, which was adapted from the same work. It is set in Berlin during the Weimar Republic in 1931, under the presence of the growing Nazi Party.

The film also gave Minnelli, the daughter of Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, her first opportunity to sing on screen, and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. Cabaret holds the record for the most Oscars won by a film that was not nominated for Best Picture, with Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Grey), Best Director (Fosse), Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound, Best Original Song Score and Adaptation, and Best Film Editing.
