Goodbye to Berlin

Product Information

Relations between Isherwood and Ross were not always amicable, and they often quarrelled. [57] Stephen Spender claimed relations between Isherwood and Ross were often acrimonious, and Isherwood referred to Ross as "a bitch" for snidely claiming he might one day "write something really great, like Noël Coward". [58] U takvim prilikama djevojka se sramežljivo smiješi i ispod trepavica baca pogled na Ota, dok Piter, promatrajući iza zastora, gunđa kroz stisnute zube: »Kurva ... kurva ... kurva ... «

As Berlin's daily scenes featured "poverty, unemployment, political demonstrations and street fighting between the forces of the extreme left and the extreme right," [3] Isherwood realised that he must flee the country. [4] Following the Enabling Act which cemented Hitler's power, Isherwood fled Germany and returned to England. [5] Afterwards, the Nazis shuttered Berlin's cabarets, [a] and many of Isherwood's friends fled abroad or perished in concentration camps. [6] These events served as the genesis for Isherwood's stories. Isherwood 1998, p.45: "This job at the Lady Windermere only lasts another week. I got it through a man I met at the Eden Bar. But he's gone off to Vienna now. I must ring up the Ufa people again, I suppose. And then there's an awful old Jew who takes me out sometimes. He's always promising to get me a contract; but he only wants to sleep with me, the old swine." In a 1986 newspaper article published long after Jean Ross' death, her daughter Sarah Caudwell indicated that Ross disapproved of Minnelli's depiction of Sally Bowles in the 1972 film: "In the transformations of the novel for stage and cinema the characterisation of Sally has become progressively cruder" and, consequently, the literary character originally based on Ross had been transmogrified into a freakish vamp. [10]Spender, Stephen (28 November 1993). "Come to the Cabaret". The Observer (Sundayed.). London, United Kingdom. p.74. Isherwood claimed that he and Ross "had a relationship which was asexual but more truly intimate than the relationships between Sally and her various partners in the novel, the plays and the films." [19] Izzo 2005, p.144: "Sally's attractiveness is also diminished by two anti-Semitic remarks she makes, which are omitted in all the postwar adaptations".

Isherwood originally intended to write a huge episodic novel of pre-Hitler Berlin called The Lost. He never completed it but this novel, which is, in fact, six linked but separate episodes, and Mr. Norris Changes Trains are all that remains of his scheme. As with Mr. Norris Changes Trains, much of the novel revolves around Fräulein Schroeder’s rooming house and its occupants. Of the six stories, by far the best known is Sally Bowles, not least because it has been transposed to the theatre and the cinema, first as John van Druten’s play I Am A Camera (the second paragraph of the story reads I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking, a statement that turns to be quite inaccurate) and the film adapted from the play and then as the stage musical, Cabaret and the film of the musical.

In particular, Minnelli drew upon Brooks' " Lulu makeup and helmet-like coiffure." [54] Brooks, like the character of Sally in the 1972 film, was an aspiring actress and American expat who went to Weimar-era Berlin in search of stardom. [55] Ultimately, Minnelli won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Sally. [58] Piterova ljubomora pretvorila se u besanicu.
