James Cagney in Billy Wilder’s ONE, TWO, THREE Screening Friday at Webster University

”  Some of the East German police were rude and suspicious. Others were suspicious and rude. “

James Cagney in Billy Wilder’s ONE, TWO, THREE (1961) will be screening at Webster University Friday October 5th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The Film starts at 7:30 pm.  There will be an intro and post-film discussion by Cliff Froehlich, Executive Director of Cinema St. Louis and Adjunct Professor of Film Studies at Webster University. A Facebook invite can be found HERE

Thirty years after making his name in the iconic gangster movie The Public Enemy, Jimmy Cagney collaborated with the master Billy Wilder on this comedy, which wound up prompting Cagney to retire from acting after its completion (though he did still manage to pop up a couple more times in the remaining decades in his life). Here Cagney plays Mac, a Coca-Cola executive in West Berlin just before the Berlin Wall is constructed, who finds himself having to look after his boss’ socialite daughter Scarlett (Pamela Tiffin).
