Description
A vintage French movie poster of ''One, Two, Three'', a 1961 American comedy film directed by Billy Wilder and starring James Cagney. The film is a fast-paced and satirical comedy set against the backdrop of the Cold War, particularly in the divided city of Berlin. It combines elements of political satire, slapstick humor, and witty dialogue.
The story revolves around James Cagney's character, C.R. MacNamara, who is an ambitious and efficient executive working for the Coca-Cola Company in West Berlin. He is tasked with taking care of his boss's daughter, Scarlett Hazeltine (played by Pamela Tiffin), who arrives in Berlin to marry a young man named Otto Piffl. However, Scarlett falls in love with an East German Communist named Otto Ludwig Piffl (played by Horst Buchholz), and the couple decides to get married, causing a dilemma for MacNamara.
As the film unfolds, MacNamara finds himself in a series of comical and increasingly frantic situations as he tries to prevent Scarlett from marrying the Communist and jeopardizing Coca-Cola's business interests in the region. The movie is known for its rapid-fire dialogue, physical comedy, and witty humor, with James Cagney delivering a memorable performance as the harried and fast-talking executive.
"One, Two, Three" is notable for its clever satire of Cold War politics, the East-West divide, and corporate culture, and it offers a lighthearted take on the tense geopolitical situation of the time. The film's humor and pacing make it a classic comedy from the early 1960s, and it remains a favorite among fans of both James Cagney and director Billy Wilder.
