Packet 2: Tossup 14

Two split-second shots in this film recreate a painting of a monocled woman in a red-and-black checkered dress smoking. This film briefly (15[1])cuts to one of its leads grinning at the camera after a character asks “do you still think you can control them?” In this film’s closing shot, a cymbal crash caps off a crescendoing snare drum roll (15[1])as the camera pans across a distorting mirror. After angrily using the verb “screw,” a character in this film says “so do I” to reveal his bisexuality. (15[1])A character (15[1])in this film (15[1])wears (15[1])rosy red powdered (*) makeup on his cheeks (10[2])in a scene pairing him with an actor dressed as a female gorilla. Louise Brooks inspired the (10[1])look of this film’s (10[1])heroine, who often wears green nail (10[1])polish, a beauty spot, bob cut, and top hat. (10[1]-5[1])This film opens and closes with audiences being greeted in three languages by Joel Grey’s Master of (-5[1])Ceremonies in the song (10[1])“Willkommen.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this Bob Fosse adaptation of a Kander and Ebb musical about a Berlin nightclub. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
