My Review

“One, Two, Three” is a political comedy film where James Cagney plays a Coca-Cola executive who gets the job as head of Coke’s Western European operations in Berlin. He finds out that his boss’ daughter is married to a hard-core communist, which could jeopardize his job. The film has numerous entertaining comedic scenes, thanks to expert direction by Billy Wilder (“The Lost Weekend” 1945) and a well penned screenplay by I. A. L. Diamond and Wilder.

Co-stars include Horst Buchholz, Pamela Tiffin, Arlene Francis, and Leon Askin, who later became famous as Gen. Burkhalter on CBS’s sitcom “Hogan’s Heroes” (1965-1971). The watchable Cold War film “One, Two, Three” as a flop at the box office for producer Billy Wilder, The Mirisch Company, Pyramid Productions AG, and United Artists. This would be Cagney’s third to last movie appearance, in a career that began in 1930.
