About this product

Product Information

Billy Wilder's Cold War satire, derived from an energetic Molnar comedy the director had seen in 1929, probably owes as much to NINOTCHKA, perhaps the best known film of his idol Ernst Lubitsch. It stars James Cagney as C.J. MacNamara, a Coca-Cola executive who comes to West Berlin to promote the sugary brew on the other side of the Iron Curtain, hoping, in the process, to be promoted to the post of director of West European operations. He soon learns that his real job is babysitting his boss's 17-year-old daughter Scarlett (Pamela Tiffin), who has secretly married volatile Communist Otto Piffl (Horst Bucholz) during her soujourn. By the time McNamara learns this small detail, his boss (Howard St. John) is about to arrive in Berlin. After he gets Piffl arrested by the East German police, who torture him by forcing him to listen to "Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini" repeatedly, C.J. finds out that Scarlett is pregnant, and realizes he has only twelve hours to get Piffl released and turn him into an acceptable son-in-law for his boss. Wilder's anarchic satire targets Communism, Coca-Cola, rock n' roll, bureaucratic inefficiency, teenage lust, middle-aged lust, and everything else which wanders into range in this briskly paced farce, which features a vigorous James Cagney in his last leading screen role.

    A cold war gem!

    This comedy is a cold war gem, and unfortunately many people have never discovered. It's one of the later movies James Cagny made, and Arlene Francis is excellent is his wife. This was the first movie for Horst Buckholz, who later became one of the "The Magnificent Seven." Cagny was absolutely magnificent in this comic role! The story (minimal spoilers) is about the top Coke company man in West Germany during the cold war, who is ambitious to move up. The head of Coke sends his goofy daughter over for Cagny to keep her out of trouble, but the next thing he knows she has crossed into East Berlin and created a crisis for him. His frantic efforts to solve the problem go in a totally unexpected direction, and the movie takes its name both from its fast pace and a line Cagny speaks. ...

  • One of the Greats by Billy Wilder

    My father showed me this movie when it was on TV before cable. It was rarely on so I am thrilled to have it on DVD. First of all Cagney can't be beat. This must have been such a fun role for him to play. This was his last film until Ragtime in 1981! Arlene Francis plays his wife, Horst Bucholz plays an East Berliner who falls in love with the daughter of Cagney's boss. Cagney has to make him a respectable capitalist while flirting with his secretary and trying to be the first soda manufacturer behind the iron curtain. Maybe a little dated, now that the Cold War is over but still hilarious and full of great character actors as well as scenes from post-war Berlin. You won't go wrong.

  • ONE, TWO, THREE (DVD, 2003)

    Cold War spoof about an fast talking ad-man type who works for Coca-Cola in 1950's West Berlin. He is the consumate salesman clawing himself to the top job of Director of Sales for Europe. He has this idea to get Coke behind the Iron Curtain. MacNamara (James Cagney) and his wife (Arlene Frances) and their son are just about to leave for vacation when he receives a call from Mr. Hazeltine, the big boss in Atlanta, Ga, USA. It seems that his 17 year old daughter, Scarlett (Pamela Tiffin) is arriving in Berlin that day, and he wants Mac and his wife to look after her for a week or so. She is wild as the wind, giddy as a lunatic, and about dumb as a box of hammers - and the bosses daughter. Well, a week grows into months, and just when it seems like nothing else can go wrong, Scarlett ...

  • One, Two, Three

    (1960) James Cagney's character is a loud-mouthed corporate businessman who is working in West Berlin during the cold war. His wife is pushing for a transfer stateside back to Atlanta, the Home Office. When his Boss'daughter turns up in West Berlin with her East Berlin communist boyfriend, Cagney's begins to see his transfer (and his marraige) explode before his eyes. And then she says she is pregnant! The comedy really begins when Cagney comes up with a plan, then lots of plans, in every which direction. This is a zany, fast paced comedy with well written script full of wonderful one-liners. I'm pleased I finally have the movie for my library - I know I'll be watching it many times!

  • One of the best comedies ever made

    A gem of a movie. The last staring role for James Cagney. So grateful to own this fantastic Billy Wilder film.
