Curiously, the only villain of the piece is a handsome, young Baron (Helmut Griem) who sets out to seduce both Sally and Brain with the aid of caviar, fur coats and gold cigarette cases. The source of the Baron's corrupting influence is his money and not his sexual tastes. But the audience soon forgets that fact, as the Baron's pursuit of Brain--and not the seductiveness of his wealth--becomes the movie's one fate markedly worse than death. Again, no effort is made to pinpoint the suggested relationship between the discrete deviance presented in the film...
While, pretending to take an enlightened and understanding approach to its material (for Brian turns out to be every bit as bi as the Baron), Cabaret ends up a straight-laced condemnation of sexuality at large. It is no coincidence that the few bisexual characters who have appeared in recent movies have all been presented as evil.

Co-captain Paul Horwitz, who had more contact with Gambril than the other upperclassmen, felt Coach Gambril had been on a tightrope this year and had handled all the parties fairly. Baron Pittenger and the Harvard athletic administration can claim that the arrival of Don Gambril"...was not a distinct change in Harvard's swimming program." Gambril himself would consider that an insult. He didn't come here planning on finishing ninth at Easterns...
...Gambril, and USC's Peter Dayland. The list was whittled down, coaches flown in for interviewing, and the committee came down to their final two prospects--Merritt and Gambril. The vote was 4-3 for Benn, nevertheless Gambril was hired as Harvard's new head swimming coach. Baron Pittenger described what happened this way. "Undergraduates on a selection committee will always choose the known over the unknown. Their personal loyalty gets in the way of objectively looking at all candidates. We learned a lesson from those selection committees last year, and while we will always consult with the athletes themselves...
