Cabaret (1972)

Wilkommen to a new episode of We Love the Love as we examine the tangled romance of Bob Fosse's classic 1972 adaptation of Cabaret, starring Liza Minelli and Michael York!

Join in as we discuss the changes the film made from the stage musical, the 1972 Oscars, and Mr. Landauer's sofa.

Plus: Why was the show called Cabaret instead of Welcome to Berlin? Why hasn't this movie gotten a better restoration? And is Brian (York) actually doing any work on his PhD? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Next week: Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
