Perhaps this is a font that did not make the transition to digital?
A narrow Didone with some similarity to Gary Powell's Onyx, which is available from various foundries, aka Arsis in the URW version.

Closest digital font I found is Latino Elongated.
Perhaps the yellow Latin serif lettering in this recent compilation were lifted from the cover of one of his albums during the pre-digital era.
This seems to be an EMI cover, but I don't know when it was produced.

Kabarett is URW's version Alan Meek's Cabaret of 1980 -- without the fancy fill or the shadow effect.
The design is derived from Auriol's pre WW I Robur.
I concur with Kabarett as the best digital match.
I note the date of 1982 and suspect that this version was extracted from Cabaret -- which was available in 1982 as Letraset rub-down contact sheets, and re-lettered by hand rather than distorted optically or digitally to this wider version. Many minor differences.
I suspect that the _K_ is an "improvement" by the logo maker.
BTW the _K_ in Cabaret and Kabarett is the same in both fonts, and different from the logo.

Poster lettering.
Looks like it was influenced by Paul Renner's Futura Black of 1929

1940s movie poster. Blue is hand lettered
No digital match but a few digital fonts have the bouncy flavor.
Best one might be Beatnik Barbie

Excellence in Motion Bold, manually expanded 120 percent
The casual viewer would not spot differences, other than the angled instead of vertical terminals on _C_
The logo wordmark has obviously been massaged to create the final product.

The Air France website uses a font called Excellence in Motion.
Looks like this could be a wide version of that font.
