Who directed One, Two, Three?
One, Two, Three was directed by Billy Wilder and written by Wilder with I. A. L. Diamond. It was released in 1961 and stars James Cagney as Coca-Cola executive C.R. MacNamara.
Why is Coca-Cola so important in One, Two, Three?
The plot uses Coca-Cola as a symbol of American capitalism in Cold War West Berlin. MacNamara is trying to manage a corporate crisis after his boss's daughter secretly marries an East German communist.
Was One, Two, Three filmed before the Berlin Wall?
Production was caught by real history: the Berlin Wall went up in August 1961 while Wilder's film was being made. That made the movie's fast Cold War farce feel sharper and darker when it reached audiences.

It was Cagney's last film appearance for about 20 years. He did not return to feature films until Ragtime in 1981.
