(Billy Wilder, US 1961, 104 min., 35mm)
James Cagney, in his last onscreen appearance for twenty years, plays an ambitious Coca-Cola executive stationed in West Berlin. Hoping to win a promotion to the London branch, he agrees to chaperone the boss's carousing daughter (Pamela Tiffin) who secretly marries an East German communist (Horst Bucholz). When the boss announces his intentions to visit, Cagney must smooth things over and quickly convert the son-in-law to capitalism. Wilder's frantically hilarious satire of cold war politics and manifest destiny is set to the manic tempo of Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance."
Please note: This screening starts at 8 p.m. not 7:30 p.m.
