Take a look at this... Karl Farkas' statement has long been a standard quote in classic theater literature. Farkas was one of the figureheads of that cabaret era, which had actually died out in Europe by the end of the 1930s: the entertainment theater of the interwar period, which had developed an irreplaceable style of acting and comedy, especially in Vienna and Budapest. After returning from America, Farkas brought many comical talents to the Simpl: Peter Alexander, Alfred Böhm, Fritz Imhoff, Ossy Kolmann, Fritz Muliar, Heinz Petters, Kurt Sowinetz, Fred Weys, and, of course, Ernst Waldbrunn. The DVD Take a look at this brings together the highlights from the Simpl and TV reviews from 1957 to 1965.

Vienna no longer has anyone like him: Karl Farkas. "Look at that!" was the leitmotif of his life. He was the only one of the postwar generation who could demonstrate how cabaret had been performed during the interwar period: primarily with Jewish wit, humor, and plenty of personality. Farkas became known throughout Austria through his legendary TV shows "Balance Sheets." His "Annual Balance Sheets" remained a television hit until his death. Among those appearing in the best Farkas shows are Ernst Waldbrunn, Maxi Böhm, Gerhard Bronner, Fritz Muliar, Otto Schenk, Ossy Kolmann, and Fritz Imhoff. The DVD "Look at that!" brings together the highlights from "Simpl" and TV's "Balance Sheets." A classic of intelligent humor from 1965-1971.
