I Am a Camera

Based On the book by John Van Druten

I Am a Camera is a 1955 British independent comedy-drama film based on the 1945 book The Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood and the 1951 eponymous play by John Van Druten. The film is a fictionalized account of Isherwood's time living in Berlin between the World Wars. Directed by Henry Cornelius, from a script by John Collier, I Am a Camera stars Laurence Harvey as Isherwood and Julie Harris recreating her Tony Award-winning performance as Sally Bowles. Censors in both the United Kingdom and United States demanded considerable emendations to the film which led to significant deviations from the source material by Van Druten and Isherwood.
