Movie Description
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.

Editorial Reviews
"Wilder, predictably, takes as much pleasure in ridiculing western capitalism as communist self-righteousness."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (08/01/2004)

    This 1961 movie is one of my favorites of James Cagney. You have a fabulous cast with Arlene Francis, Horst Buchholz, Red Buttons and Pamela Tiffin. Billy Wilder directed this rowdy comedy, a spoof of the Cold War and about a Coco Cola executive(Cagney) sent to West Berlin but is at his wit's end when his boss's visiting daughter(Tiffin) ends up marrying an East Berliner(Buchholz)! Cagney is a marvel to watch in this fast paced comedy. I highly recommend this film.....just wonderful!
