A vibrant foray into the bohemian districts of late-19th-century Paris, and the titular cabaret as habituated by diminutive artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Jose Ferrer). Toulouse-Lautrec was born to title and privilege, but his life was marked by tragedy due to his height (the result of a growth-stunting fall) and habits (cognac fueled his obsessive renderings of nightclub performers). Ferrer, who doubles as Toulouse-Lautrec’s father, was so committed to his role that he wore pads of his own design as he walked on his knees, his lower legs torturously strapped to his upper body. Huston, who had studied painting in Paris as a young man, took pains to make the Technicolor photography resemble a Toulouse-Lautrec canvas. Co-starring Zsa Zsa Gabor as one of the nightclub dancers, the film earned Oscars for its art decoration and costume design.
