Cabaret: How the X-rated musical became a hit
A sign of the times was that Cabaret was also burdened with the dreaded X rating by the British Board of Film Classification, which meant nobody under 17 was allowed to see the motion picture in the UK. When re-rating the film as a 15, 40 years later, the BBFC said it contained "strong sex references, violence and drug references". As a result of the initial rating, it was not a commercial hit in Britain but was adored by Bafta, where it picked up seven awards from 11 nominations. A burgeoning moral outcry in Britain about sex and violence in cinema perhaps best explains the severity of the rating. Assess the level of explicitness in Cabaret to another X-rated movie of 1972 – Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy – which features graphic nudity and brutal violence – and it's very difficult to understand how and why they came to this rating.

At its heart, Cabaret exposes a nation with a confused sense of morality, at a time when moral corruption is on the rise.
Before Cabaret, there was a book. Goodbye to Berlin, by Christopher Isherwood, is a semi-autobiographical work about Isherwood’s time in the Weimar Republic and his intimate friendship with a cabaret singer. This book served as the basis for a play; I Am a Camera (US/UK), a 1951 drama by John Van Druten, looks at life in a tawdry Berlin rooming house. The play centers on the life of the mercurial and somewhat sad Sally Bowles (Isherwood’s cabaret singer), who lives a vacant animation in
