According to the 1972 movie "Cabaret", what makes the world go around?

According to the movie "Cabaret", and the ironic song sung by Sally (Liza Minelli), money makes the world go around, reflecting on how money can open doors, purchase opportunities and gain freedom.

The 1972 film is based on 1966 Broadway musical "Cabaret". It is set in Berlin, Germany during the Weimar Republic in 1931, under the presence of the growing Nazi Party, with the main character being an American cabaret performer living in Germany.

A young American Sally Bowles performs at the Kit Kat Klub, Berlin. A new British arrival in the city, Brian Roberts, moves into the boarding house where Sally lives. Brian wants to give English lessons to earn a living while completing his doctorate. Sally tries to seduce Brian, but he tells her that on three previous occasions he has tried to have sexual relationships with women, all of which failed. They become friends, and Brian witnesses Sally's bohemian life in the last days of the Weimar Republic. When Brian consoles Sally after her father cancels his meeting with her, they become lovers, concluding that his previous failures with women were because they were "the wrong three girls".

An undertone in the film is the unstability of the Weimar republic and the end of an era.

The movie was nominated for ten Oscar categories in 1973 and it won eight: Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Score Adaptation and Original Song Score and Best Sound.
