Bob Fosse was sure a choreographer but he made also few films. Strangely one of them is fantastic but the others are a bit lame.
The One is naturally Cabaret (1972). The story is great, music is fine and the whole look wonderful. And then comes the touch of Fosse: choreography (and it's filming). It's impressive and it's funny.
The film itself makes you laugh and it makes you cry. So this must be a good film!
One reason is casting. Liza Minelli is so beautiful and skilful in this film that it makes you wonder where did she disappear? Why didn't she made more wonderful movies? There is 'The Sterile Cuckoo' (1969), 'New York, New York' (1977) and 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' (1984) but otherwise.
And then there is the one and only Master of Ceremonies Joel Grey. You couldn't think any better than him! Why is his filmography so short? I simply love his acting.
