Editorial Reviews

Hollywood great James Cagney (The Gallant Hours) gives one of the richest, funniest, most breathlessly paced performances of his career in this comedy that defrosts the Cold War with gales of laughter. C.R. Mac MacNamara (Cagney) is a top-ranking soda executive stationed in West Berlin who s responsible for his boss daughter (Pamela Tiffin, Come Fly with Me) while he s away on business. But when he learns that she's gone and married a fierce young communist (Horst Buchholz, The Magnificent Seven) and that his boss will be arriving in town in 24 hours, Mac must transform the unwilling beatnik into a suitable son-in-law or risk losing his chance for advancement! Before you can say "one, two, three," his plans have spun out of control and into an international incident that could infuriate the Russians, the Germans and, worst of all, his own suspicious wife. Legendary director Billy Wilder (Irma La Douce) directed and co-wrote this hilarious, fast-paced and lighthearted comedy with his twelve-time writing partner I.A.L. Diamond (Avanti!).

Funny and almost forgotten Billy Wilder film.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

When you say Billy Wilder you automatically think, SUNSET BLVD, SOME LIKE IT HOT, and THE APARTMENT. Which is understandable because Wilder is a master storyteller and those are just some of the best movies ever made.
I love them as well but if I had to pick a drama from Wilder that was my favorite it would be ACE IN THE HOLE starring Kirk Douglas in his best role ever.
The comedy that I would pick though, and I love SOME LIKE IT HOT don't get me wrong, is ONE TWO THREE a Cold War comedy about Capitalism, Communism, sex, and Coca-Cola. If you loved Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE then you'll love this. James Cagney here is the operational manager of the Berlin office of Coca-Cola who is trying to broker a deal with East Berlin and the Communist satellites of the USSR. What goes down is just a quick pace comedy that just does not let up and James Cagney, in my personal view , in one of his best roles ever. Better then WHITE HEAT? OK let's not go crazy here. Cagnet in WHITE HEAT is just plain unbeatable. ONE TWO THREE is a great comedy if you get the comedy. It is bold, brash, unforgiving, and face paced for it's time which you do ask questions along the way of "How in the hell did Wilder get away with that?" So much fun. So much laughter. I just love this film. Oh check out ACE IN THE HOLE too.

One, Two, Three - the Wildest Wilder of them all

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

I saw this when it came out and the audience I saw it with, which was jam-packed at a neighborhood theater, laughed just as hard if not harder than the audience I saw Some Like it Hot with. Of course, every gag in the film got roaring laughter, but it was so up to the minute with what was happening in the world - and the pace was breathtaking - it never slowed down for a second and barely left you time to catch your breath before the next laugh hit. Cagney was brilliant in what would be his swan song until Ragtime coerced him back before the camera, Horst Bucholz proved to be a comic actor supreme, Pamela Tiffin was perky and fun, Arlene Francis droll, General Bullmoose - sorry, Howard St. John was his usual expert comic self. And all the character actors were perfection, especially Schlemmer. But it's the screenplay by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond that glitters and Wider's direction couldn't be better.

The transfer is one of the better transfers from MGM/UA - given that they are the worst of the worst, that's saying something, I suppose. It could be better, but it looks pretty good and the film is the thing, of course. So, you should make a purchase of One, Two, Three in three, two, one...

SCHLEMMER! Fast & Funny

Funniest Movie of 1960's. Possibly the '70's and '80's. Cagney's 'last picture', is his funniest. You'll hate Horst Buchholz as much as the rest of the cast did by the time you finish watching 1, 2, 3!
1- Funniest Billy Wilder you've never seen
2- Leon Askin's greatest role before Burchhalter
3- Turn it on SCHLEMMER!

Non-Stop Cold War Comedy by Wilder

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

First Off, there is nothing I did NOT like about this film. Yes, the dialog is fast-paced and you do need to know about the long-Time-Ago Cold War. Also, this is a Billy Wilder film. He directed such classics as: "Some Like It Hot", "The Apartment", "Irma La Douce" "Stalag 17" and "Sunset Blvd". There are a lot more. He is in the top 5 of my favorite directors.
The plot on this one is quite simple: Cagney, As McNamara, is the head of the Berlin branch of Coca Cola. His boss, Mr. Hazeltine, sends his daughter, Scarlett, played wonderfully by Pamela Tiffen, to Europe because she has become a bit too rowdy. When she arrives in Berlin she rather shortly elopes with An East German Communist, Otto Pifl, played by Horst Bucholtz. I will not give anymore of the plot away. Capitalism and Communism both take hits. My favorite is the use of the Umlaut. You gotta see the film to know what I'm talking about. Viel Spass! That's German for "Have fun".

It is funny!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a great movie. It would help the viewer to be aware of the following.
In the time of the movie, there was West Germany (allied with the west) and East Germany (allied with the Soviet Union). Also, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley are briefly mentioned. They were co-anchors of the NBC Nightly News.
Also, in this time period, it would be a really big deal if a very young woman of 17 should become pregnant out-of-wedlock. Also, there was really no such thing as equal opportunity employment searches.

James Cagney, who often played the bad guy parts, really shines in this comedic role.

Note: The director, Billy Wilder, wanted to convey a sense of increasing urgency in the viewers so the cookoo clock keeps chiming the hour more often, and the tempo of the cookoo also speeds up as the end of the picture draws near.

COMEDY AND SATIRE AT ITS BEST!

I was hunting and hunting for an American made playable DVD of this movie after our first copy was watched so much that it succumbed to scratches. Good old AMAZON to the rescue! I found one NEW and still in the shrink wrap for an excellent price. This movie is so hilarious that you will have to see it to believe it. Tired of all this "Russia" and "communist" talk? Well, Jimmy Cagney laughs at the "boogie man," and leads you on a merry wild ride through the Cold War of the early 60's.

Billy Wilder, Jimmy Cagney and a delightful comedy

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020

Wow! One of the funniest comedies coming out of Hollywood. Jimmy Cagney a Coca Cola bottler in a divided Germany after the war, wants to sell Coke to the Russians. All the while, he is confronted with East German communists, his bosses unruly daughter, heel-clicking employees, and Horst Bucholtz as an unrivaled lefty. You think I'm kidding about comedy. Wait until you hear a snippet of an all German band singing " Yes, We Have No Bananas" in their home language. The laughs come furious and fast so hang on!

Fast paced non stop entertainment.

I have been a fan of this movie for years. It is fast paced comedy done with wit and intelligence. James Cagney, of course is the central figure and force in this movie. Delivering his lines with bullet like precision. The supporting cast, featuring Arlene Francis, Pamela Tiffin and Horst Buchholz do very well keeping up with Cagney. Not enough space here to describe all that the movie entails, so I will simply say, if you enjoy comedy done well, get it. You will not be disappointed. Linea

First and foremost, it is impossible to talk about co-writer/director Billy Wilder’s superb 1961 take on Cold War (and post-WW2) Berlin without focusing on James Cagney’s bravura central turn. As Berlin-based, career-obsessed, unscrupulous Coca-Cola executive, C R 'Mac’ MacNamara, who finds his career progression at risk courtesy of Horst Bucholz’s 'Bolshevik’, Otto Ludwig Piffl’s intentions towards Mac’s boss’ daughter, Pamela Tiffin’s 'party girl’ Scarlett Hazeltine, the sexagenarian Cagney delivers a performance of such motormouth energy that would be a challenge for an actor half his age. The fact that the actor is delivering one of Wilder and noted co-writer, Izzy Diamond’s, sharpest scripts, makes the absence for Cagney of much in the way of awards, particularly confounding. In addition to the trademark Wilder/Diamond undercurrents of the cynicism of sexual politics and corporate capitalism, the film’s particular focus on the parody of Communism and post-WW2 Germany is a little hit-or-miss and, perhaps, dated (particularly nearly 3 decades on from the fall of the Berlin Wall – itself under construction as Wilder’s film was being made), but, make no mistake, this is a very funny film, with a pace even faster than Wilder’s comedic masterpiece, Some Like It Hot, and (in this respect) a piece of exquisite cinema to compare with Howard Hawks’ gem, His Girl Friday (a personal favourite).

Rather like the aforementioned films, the quality of the script and the endless stream of hilarious gags, almost makes superfluous any more detailed critical analysis. Where I would say the film (inevitably) doesn’t quite match Some Like It Hot is it does not have a central trio of the (sympathetic) quality of Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe – indeed, I suspect the aggressive, (largely) unredeemed nature of Mac’s persona here is one reason why Cagney’s turn didn’t hit it off with the critics. On the other hand, Bucholz does a good job as the irate ‘commie’ asked to take on the 'privileged capitalist’ mantle, Arlene Francis is impressive in her role as the ‘deadpan foil’, wife Phyllis, opposite Cagney and Tiffin eventually endears as the ‘dumb’ romantic. Some of the film’s highlight moments involve Mac’s underhand negotiations with (supposedly) avowed ‘commies’ in the form of three Russian trade commissars – these include scenes where Liselotte Pulver’s glamorous blonde secretary, Fräulein Ingeborg, dances (Monroe-like) on a table as 'intellectuals’ play chess and Mac attempts to negotiate Otto’s return from East Berlin and that in Mac’s office as the executive plots Coca-Cola’s expansion behind the Iron Curtain, with a background map (and Russian characterisations) calling to mind Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove. Indeed, Wilder’s film is also notable for deliberate references/homages to other films, namedropping La Dolce Vita and Gone With The Wind and giving us a Yankee Doodle Dandy cuckoo clock and a visiting Military Policeman 'doing a Cagney gangster’.

In the end, though, a return to Cagney’s performance is inevitable. Despite the fact that the actor had a (personally) relatively standoffish relationship with Wilder during the making of the film and a more fractious one with Bucholz, there is no discernible dimunition in the resulting enthusiasm and energy on-screen. One, Two, Three thus provided a fitting penultimate film for one of Hollywood’s biggest ever films stars, as well as another worthy entry on Wilder’s CV.

Worth watching for James Cagney's outstanding performance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

A fascinating look at a different James Cagney showing off his comedic talents. None of the other actors really match up to him, but the pace of the movie is frenetic, set in the Berlin of the 60's and built around the division between East and West. To a large degree a sustained advertisement for Coca-Cola, but generally it works as a comedy and as a satire.
It's well-directed by Billy Wilder who also co-wrote the screenplay, but the three East Berlin characters trying to get hold of the formula for Coca-Cola, but not sure if they want to stick with Communism is a direct lift from "Ninotchka" the Greta Garbo film of 1939. .

One of Wilder's best films

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

One of Wilder's best and least known films. A perfect match of his witty and brilliant style and most provoking topics. He plays jokes with everything including cold war, making fun of west and east and givinh bob Hope his best role ever. A perfect plot where characters are not just puppets but funny and in a way real characters with all their idiosincracies which also embody a cultural clash where none is really right or wrong. Of course Soviets look like the losing side (film was shot in early 60s) but there are some provoking lines that show West hypocrisy and make it look ridiculous too

great cold war comedy finally on DVD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a great Jimmy Cagney/Billy Wilder 1950s non-stop farce set in West Berlin. He is a Coca-Cola executive trying to break into the "Commie" market and the Cold War stereotypes fly fast and furiously -- the Soviets thinking "Yes, We have No Bananas" is a rock-and-roll song -- border guards letting people through the border checkpoints (the Berlin Wall had not been built yet) in return for 6-packs of Coke -- people being arrested for playing "Yankee Doodle" and having balloons with "Russki go home" written on them -- the German Coke employees stand at attention and click their heels when the boss arrives each morning -- ex-Nazi employees who tell people they were "in the underground"(actually "they worked as a subway conductor") during the war and so were not responsible for anything -- etc. The plot describes what happens when Cagney's boss in Atlanta sends his teenage daughter (Pamela Tiffin) to Berlin to get her out from under foot and she falls for a young East German Communist student (Horst Buchholz). Things then move very quickly as Cagney tries everything he can think of to resolve the situation and not offend his boss. The character actors (Hanns Lothar, Leon Askin, and a variety of German comic/actors) are also great playing "over-the-top" parts that keep driving this comedy relentlessly forward. Red Buttons even shows up for a but part as an MP doing a Jimmy Cagney (!) impression. Great film -- one of Wilder and Cagney's best.
