One, Two, Three. James CagneyReview created: 03/11/06

A Billy Wilder comedy, set in August 1961 (and made then) As the Berlin wall is finished C. R. McNamara (James Cagney) inflicts his capitalism on all who come near him. His attempts to further his career and help Coca Cola conquer Europe (he's head of Coca Cola Germany).
The setting may be the cold war, but this is essentially a farce, and a fine one at that. There's no overall message to the film, no capitalism v communism, it just highlights the absurdities of humanity, that and laughter and love conquer all...... Well probably not, I guess it was written for laughs and that's what it gets.
The energy of all the performances, Cagney's especially, is breathtaking. During the making of this, with Wilder's tough direction, Cagney decided to give up acting. His next film was 20 years later (Ragtime). Having made films non stop for over 30 years, he certainly left on a high.
A thoroughly enjoyable film.
