Books that inspired the film

How could "The Berlin of Sally Bowles" have inspired the film if it was written after the film was made? Eyal Bairey 19:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Christopher Isherwood page, the three books listed are different editions of the same work, with different titles. That is, Sally Bowles (1937) was included in the later novel Goodbye to Berlin (1939), which was included in The Berlin Stories (1945), which was later re-issued as The Berlin of Sally Bowles (1975). It would probably be sufficient to list Goodbye to Berlin as the inspiration for the play and the film, since it's the only one that has a wikipedia page.

No mention of any awards... <eg> --80.136.179.219 08:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

quality

It does not fit wikipedia standards to call this film superior to the original broadway production. A film and a broadway show can NEVER be compared that way.--Kiwiboy1221 04:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And most of us who saw both the original Broadway production and the movie found the Broadway production far superior. GCW50 20:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copy

The trivia section has been entirely copied from IMDB. Does anyone else want to remove the copied trivia?

Seems like a copyright issue to me, so yes. Dstumme 03:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removing "Jewish gay men"

Wiki article on Kander and Ebb makes no mention of their personal lives or marital status, therefore I'm removing the false assertion from this Cabaret article. There is no legitimate published source on the personal life of either. If a friend of yours who works in the Broadway theater told you gossip about their private lives, then that's original research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.203.140.101 (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I remember reading a new york times article a few years ago that actually discussed this. If I remember correctly, John Kander was gay but Fred Ebb was straight. I'll try to find it. Patrick Colvin (talk) 05:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

The last paragraph of the "Plot" section is also repeated as the section "Narrative and news reading". You may want to reconsider that. 66.241.130.86 (talk) 16:36, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrow Belongs to Me

The article states that the singer of "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" is wearing black shorts. That's false.75.169.142.191 (talk) 04:13, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure whether it is or isn't, but the color of his shorts isn't the point anyhow, so I've taken it out. DonIago (talk) 05:30, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not Winner of Best Picture in 1973

When I read that Cabaret holds the record for most Academy Awards without winning Best Picture, my immediate question was, "Well, what picture won that year instead of Cabaret?" It took awhile and a few clicks to answer my question, so as a public service, I added that little tidbit. Another editor reverted my edit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Cabaret_(1972_film)&diff=next&oldid=1127988771 .

I'm fine if that's the consensus. What do others think? Thanks. Art Smart ^Chart/Heart 18:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the reverting editor (I would have appreciated a courtesy ping, but no big deal), which film won instead seemed off-topic, especially as it's easy enough to look up if one is so inclined. That said, it's not a major text change, though I found the way it was inserted into the text somewhat awkward (and malformatted in the original edit).

Ebert review

The article currently cites a January 1972 review by Roger Ebert in the "contemporary reviews" section, but Ebert's actual review of Cabaret appears to have been written some time later. The online version of his review is dated to January 1, 1972, which must be incorrect; for one thing, the film didn't come out until February 13, 1972. While it's possible that Ebert might've reviewed the movie a month and a half before its release, the online version of his review also mentions Oscar wins for Joel Gray and Bob Fosse, which did not occur until over a year later, on March 27 1973. I can find a version of Ebert's Cabaret review from Feb 1972 in the Chicago Sun-Times, but it's significantly different from the online version, lacking the "no ordinary musical" passage quoted in this article. I don't think his review (or at least, this particular excerpt) belongs in the "contemporary reviews" section. Mattymatt (talk) 07:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
