| I think Irma la Douce and Fanny aren’t serious enough for Spielberg. If he were to do another musical, I love it to be Cabaret. And I know this is heretic, but I think Liza, being as wonderful as she was, was the major flaw in the film. She was just too good to be at the Kit Kat Klub. What makes the role so difficult to play is the the actor playing it has to be a terrific actor and a good enough singer to pull off the songs, but not so good a singer that we wonder why someone that talented is in such a crappy club. I would love to see a film of Cabaret that is closer to the show that Masteroff, Kander and Ebb wrote and not a showcase for the director. Fosse made it a movie about Fosse. I know this is a very unpopular and minority opinion, but there it is. Spielberg would be the perfect choice. He would make a brilliant film that is about Cabaret in the same way his film about West Side Story is about West Side Story. |
