One, Two, Three is a 1961 American comedy film directed by Billy Wilder. The film is based on the 1929 Hungarian one-act play Egy, kettő, három by Ferenc Molnár. The screenplay was written by Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond. The film stars James Cagney, Horst Buchholz, Pamela Tiffin, Arlene Francis, and Liselotte Pulver.

Plot[edit | edit source]

The story is set in West Berlin during the Cold War. James Cagney plays C.R. MacNamara, a high-ranking executive in the Coca-Cola Company. MacNamara is tasked with looking after his boss's daughter, Scarlett Hazeltine, played by Pamela Tiffin, who is visiting Berlin. Scarlett falls in love with a young East German communist named Otto Piffl, played by Horst Buchholz. The film follows MacNamara's frantic efforts to prevent his boss from discovering Scarlett's relationship with Otto and to transform Otto into a suitable son-in-law.
