After meeting American club singer Sally Bowles in 1930s Berlin, rich playboy Max invites her and her boyfriend, the British writer Brian, for a weekend away from the city. The three soon enter a closed triad relationship. This is one of the first mainstream examples of male bisexuality in film after the fall of the Hays Code. While Max is not a well-drawn character, the inclusion of his sexuality was a watershed moment in queer representation in American film.
