  • "Tale of a young and naive author who befriends a lively and totally amoral English girl. The two form a close friendship and he thoroughly enjoys her outrageous behaviour. Together they indulge in the freedom and decadence offered by Berlin at the time, but as support for Nazi fascism rises, the city as they know it begins to vanish."@en
  • "A young English writer observes life in the pre-Nazi Berlin of 1930's, and has a platonic relationship with an amoral and reckless young English girl, Sally Bowles."
  • "Apart from being based on the same material as Cabaret (a theatrical adaptation of Isherwood's Berlin stories), this film is notable for providing the third of a trio of roles (the others were in Member of the Wedding and East of Eden) for Julie Harris to make her mark on the screen in the early to mid fifties. She plays the half-courtesan Sally Bowles opposite Harvey's Isherwood with wit and intelligence, a role she had also played on the New York stage. By general concensus I Am a Camera is less successful in portraying the amoral, twilight world of Berlin during the last days of Weimar and the unconventional relationship between Bowles and Isherwood, repressing the latter's gayness. As it was, the film ran into censorship problems in the U.S.A. Isherwood harshly dismissed it as "digusting ... near pornographic trash""@en

  • "This is an honest adaptation of the hit play which John Van Druten fashioned from the Berlin stories of Christopher Isherwood. Laurence Harvey plays Isherwood, the struggling author trying to grind out a first novel in the sterile climate of 1931 Berlin. Julie Harris recreates the celebrated performance she gave in the original stage production as an attractive, vivacious cabaret singer who wants to rise to a higher station in life. Although its style and outlook are in the best tradition of English screen humor, it has a vitality and keen sense of mischief which sets it apart from others of its genre. Directed by Henry Cornelius."@en
  • "Adapted from Christopher Isherwood's "Berlin stories" which later became the musical "Cabaret", it's the story of a struggling writer and a madcap chanteuse in Berlin during the early 1930s. Laurence Harvey, Shelley Winters and Julie Harris star in this first-rate comedy-drama."@en
