Merick H A fun and enjoyable farce. The speed of the dialogue does begin to wear on you as the movie progresses, but there are some good laughs and it is worth the watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review marc g OH MY GOD That was the funniest picture I ever saw. Billy Wilder produced, directed, and co-wrote it, absolute genius. It is the zenith of his fast paced, high energy, screwball, comedies, and James Cagney gave an absolute masterclass in comedic timing played over-the-top for big laughs. All the hijinks of Some Like It Hot and Ball of Fire, but placed in and filmed in Berlin just before the Wall. Actually, the Berlin Wall disrupted the filming and it had to be finished in a studio. The corporate climbing capitalist, Cola executive, James Cagney, while attempting to close a deal with a triumvirate of incompetent corrupt Soviet commissars to sell Coke into the USSR runs aground when his boss sends his free spirited 17 year old daughter to Berlin for him to watch. Every possible escapade you can imagine, and those you can't, leaves Cagney with so many fires to put out, it will leave you be absolutely breathless. But laughing right up to the final scene. This is an abosolute masterpiece, and will have you asking, why did they stop making movies like this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Lanfranco C It is funny, but not Wilder at His best. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Bob W This is one of my favorite movies though younger people who are not up on their Cold War history may want to hang on to their phones for explanations. Still, the frenetic pace and a super-duper tour de force semi-final performance by the great Jimmy Cagney make this first rate entertainment for people who enjoy broad satirical farces. Cagney really gives it his all...he found the experience so exhausting that he retired from the movies for a twenty years but he left it all on the screen! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review acsdoug D The movie a bit dated, the plot is ridiculous and all the actors shout their lines at a frenetic pace. Still, there are some real laughs here, enough to recommend. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review David S Very funny satire poking fun at capitalism, communism, politics, with great dialogue. Cagney was great!
