Based on Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin, this Bob Fosse directed, Liza Minnelli starring adaptation of the Kander and Ebb musical, set in Weimer Germany around the rise of the Nazi Party, differs greatly from the original stage show (Kander and Ebb having written new songs for the film specifically). This was Liza's first time singing on screen; the daughter of Judy Garland and director Vincent Minnelli (who suggested she model her look after silent filn m star Louise Brooks) won Best Actress at the 1973 Academy Awards. With its 8 total Oscars, it holds the record for most won by a film not to win Best Picture.
