Set in divided Berlin as the Wall is being built, Billy Wilder’s madcap satire of consumerism and the Cold War pits a blustering Coca-Cola executive (Cagney) against the handsome, romantic ideal of a Communist everyman (Buchholz) in the battle for the honor of a witless Southern Belle who happens to be the boss’s daughter.
