1973 be a very good year for legendary director or choreographer bob fosse . he win an emmy for direct and choreograph the television special liza with a z and he win a tony for direct the broadway musical pippin and and blindside francis ford copolla by win an oscar for best director for cabaret and the dazzling 1972 film version and which be fosse re thinking of the 1966 broadway musical . the stage and screen version be quite different and a independent work and they stand on their own a outstanding achievement and it be not necessary to have see the play to appreciate the movie . the main focal point of fosse re thinking of the musical be that he want it to be a more realistic musical and therefore make sure that all of the musical number ( with the exception of tomorrow belongs to me ) all take place within the wall of the kit kat club . he cut several number from the original score and but if you listen and some of them can be hear a background music in several scene . he also shift the focus of the way the story be tell . the play tell the story from the lead man point of view and but fosse switch the focus to the character of sally bowles and the brassy and sassy party girl who believe in divine decadence and wear bright green fingernail polish . fosse also take two secondary character from the play and who be old and and make them young and attractive in order to make their story more youth friendly and i imagine . liza minnelli turn in a dazzling oscar win performance a sally and a gutsy and self absorb party girl who show sign of vulnerability and a desperate need to be love . minnelli make the most of her musical and non musical moment in the film . her climactic confrontation with brian ( michael york ) be brilliantly perform . york be charm and sexy a brian and joel grey oscar win turn a the master of ceremony be a delight . the musical number be all brilliantly stag and perform and from the opening number willkomenn to the new money song perform by minnelli and grey and to maybe this time and the ballad belt out by minnelli onstage in the empty club . fosse cleverly counterpart the musical number with the reality of what be go on in nazi occupied 1931 berlin with sometimes startle effect . tomorrow belong to me still give me goosebumps every time i watch the film . this film rule at the 73 oscar and win eight award in all ( it lose best picture to the godfather ) and deserve every accolade it receive . a sparkling and eye popping and think provoking and haunting film experience that should be savor over and over again .
