It's 50 years since the appearance on screen of John Kander and Fred Ebb's musical Cabaret, and an iconic point in the film career of Liza Minnelli. Matthew looks at that and at other portraits of Berlin's "Weimar Years". The programme includes music from Cabaret, The Blue Angel, Berlin Babylon, Metropolis, Nosferatu, Berlin Alexanderplatz, The Threepenny Opera, and the extraordinary cinematic and musical portrait of the city across a day - 'Berlin - A Symphony of a Great City'.
