- Synopsis
- It is the city of Berlin in 1931, a time when political unrest racks the country, the economy has been destroyed, and millions of unemployed roam the streets. Enter into this chaos an American cabaret dancer, working at the downtown "Kit-Kat club" where anything goes on the stage. Into this young dancer's life come several characters such as a rich German politician, a young Jewish man struggling with his identity, an Englishman teacher from London, and of course the all-knowing, all-seeing Master of Ceremonies.

"Cabaret" hold this record: Most Oscar wins (8) without winning Best Picture. It won 8 out of its 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Actress (Liza Minnelli), but one of its only two losses turned out to be the top prize, which went to "The Godfather" instead.
