...DEBAUCHED atmosphere of the German nightclub scene before World War Two, a young American singer loses her mind and her baby. A Jew, a widow, a writer and a whore try to make sense out of their lives, but a Nazi outsmarts them all. When nothing remains but the cozy Kit Kat Club, the Master of Ceremonies tears the bandages from everyone's eyes, revealing the ugliness of their lives...

Pauline, the bartender, worked in the town's shoemills for thirty years. "I think Carter is handling things well. It took...
...easy to look up to the man who is going to make you a star when you're 5 ft. 8 in. and he is 5 ft. 3 in. So Singer-Dancer Ann Jillian, 29, opening a nightclub act last week at Manhattan's Reno Sweeney, looked down-sweetly-on Mickey Rooney, who had got her booking. Since he first spotted Jillian two years ago, Rooney has also wangled her a part as a showgirl in his Broadway hit Sugar Babies and a role in the upcoming movie, Panic on the Potomac, in which they will both play...
