I love this one! Witty and with the bite I associate with Brecht. And the fact that it flows, and can be sung — even in the head — with so little effort. And Marion is right, the film version has the advantage of being of the era, gritty and — knowing what we know — rather menacing and melancholy. Of course, Pabst is one of my all time favorite directors, his Lulu is a knockout.
