other reader comments on Peter Bradshaw's 5.5.2022 Cabaret article:

~~ Even after all these years I haven't forgotten how brilliant was this film.  And the acting of Minnelli, Grey, and York was superb.


~~ A fantastic film with outstanding performances by the whole cast.  The chilling biergarten scene is unforgettable.


~~ Joel Grey: icon of our times.  Again.

Welcome to the endtimes, partygoers.

Great soundtrack though
