C. R. MacNamara (James Cagney) is an ambitious Coca-Cola executive in West Berlin, tasked with the flighty daughter of a superior in Atlanta. Unfortunately for MacNamara, Scarlett (Arlene Francis) has a habit of getting herself engaged.

All of the collaborations between Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond are great, but One, Two, Three is even funnier than most. Not only is it a wickedly fast-paced and convoluted farce, but it's a deliciously cruel satire of just about everyone: American capitalists, Russian communists, young people, Nazis, aristocrats...
