In West Berlin during the Cold War, Coca-Cola executive C.R. 'Mac' Macnamara is given the task of taking care of his boss' socialite daughter. When Scarlett surprises Mac by announcing she has married Otto Piffi, a young East German Communist with ardent anti-capitalist views, Suddenly, the expected two-week stay develops into two months.
 
Featuring a brilliant performance by James Cagney and classic fast-and-furious dialogue, this hysterical, hilarious satire on American cultural imperialism is Billy Wilder at his best.  Interestingly, the shooting started before the construction of the Berlin Wall – but then one morning the wall went up, forcing the crew to relocate to Munich.
