ok and the acting be good and the direction superb and all the music number be great ( especially maybe this time and mein herr ) and but the movie be depress ( the nazi slowly take power ) and overlong and and the sexual politics be very dated ( have bisexuality a subject of a musical be revolutionary in 1972 now it old hat ) . i know many people love this movie but i be bore silly after the first hour or so . minnelli and york really start to grate on me . still and when minnelli sang and the movie be fantastic and joel grey be slimy and scary a the m. c. so and while i agree it a good movie ( and change the face of movie musical ) i can not say i enjoy it .
