MattCanada here with another week of homo classics. Since I started writing this weekly column about a month ago, I have focused on films which have not been Oscar contenders and not featured the actresses which Nathaniel, me, and all the readers of this website respect (read: worship in a cult-like fashion).

I AM A CAMERA Maddermarket Theatre Norwich 28.11.09 Perhaps it had something to do with the cut of his trousers. Andy Adams' “Herr Issyvoo” was never remotely convincing as the beachcomber of the big city [30s Berlin]. Hard to understand what Sally Bowles saw in this annoying, podgy little prat. Jo Sessions played the nervy nightclub singer – an affecting portrait of...

... played by Wayne Sleep. Amongst the promiscuity and the entertainment Bradshaw meets the entrancing Sally Bowles, played by runner up in the BBC’s production of “Maria”, Siobhan Dillon. The audience shares the shock and confusion of the unsuspecting foreigner as he is helplessly swallowed into a whirlpool of sex, scandal and seduction. The second act is a potent reminder that the 1930s...

... amount of meanness beneath this veneer. Plus, dancing wise, he's totally still got it. The part of Sally Bowles is played by Siobhan Dillon, who apparently is off the telly, although I've never heard of her. She's got a cracking voice though, and she shines as the sexy but unstable star of the show. As the act progresses though, you begin to sense a brooding menace, the emptiness...

ALTHOUGH Cabaret has been revived several times in London over the years, to most people’s mind it means Liza Minnelli sitting on a chair in the film. Although the film is memorable in many ways it’s basically a star vehicle for Minnelli who is several light-years distant from the Sally Bowles originally portrayed by Christopher Isherwood in Goodbye to Berlin .

... in at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards. Together with the theme "Katy Kat Club," the Sally Bowles-inspired garb was only appropriate as the 16th annual EMAs returned to its inaugural location of Berlin, just days before the 20th anniversary of when the Berlin wall came tumbling down.

... and be sure of the fact it was where I was going. So I confessed it was for dressing up, for a Sally Bowles Cabaret style outfit. He was the kind of man who would understand Cabaret. Then he suggested I do this instead: Little Nell in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I can't pretend I don't know it, in fact I still have the programme from seeing the show in Cambridge which some of the...

... Judy Dench showing she’s still got the stuff for musicals — she played the role of Sally Bowles in the original 1968 London production of “Cabaret” (though her Sally was closer to the original stories in that she wasn’t a great singer) — and none other than Sophia Loren, still glamorous as heck at 75 (she’s got just a few months on Dame Judi).
