From my The Arts Fuse appreciation of Bob Fosse's CABARET, upon the occasion of the film's 50th anniversary:
_“Just another weekend in Weimar,” is how our very own Lord Haw-Haw, Tucker Carlson, described a drag event busted up by neo-fascists in Dallas the week of June 8, giving tacit approval to the act.
Fifty years after Bob Fosse’s Weimar-era musical Cabaret was released, which depicted the dichotomy of what bourgeois propriety would call “decadent” entertainment and rising fascism in 1931 Berlin, we’re still… well… look out the damned window. _
