Saturday morning's entertainment

Instead of a cartoon this morning I offer you a scene from the academy award winning 1972 movie Cabaret starring Liza Minnelli and Michael York.



In this scene Brian Roberts (Michael York) an English student studying in Berlin and wealthy German aristocrat Maximillian (Helmut Griem) are out for a drive in the country. Maximillian is telling Brian that the traditional conservative forces of German politics need Hitler to do away with the Communists but that they can control him and when he is no longer needed he will be discarded.

I guess we all know how well that worked out.
