A straight-up shot of intoxicating Billy Wilder, this hilarious, wised-up comedy-mystery about a cynical POW played to perfection by William Holden was decades ahead of its time and far superior to a much soapier and more on-the-nose approach to WW II, From Here to Eternity.

Wilder's best film IMHO was "One, Two, Three"....Pure comedic genius, and one of the all-time great comedy performances from James Cagney.

One, Two, Three is a great overlooked movie.

And, like Sullivan’s Travels has a non-Lefty message.

I have a very amusing memory of seeing this movie on late night TV, with commercial interruptions but still with a voice over introducer.

After one commercial he announced: Now we return to our feature: “Eins, Zwei, Drei”

One,Two Three..... One of my all time favorite movies. Jimmy Cagney was brilliant

I also think Mr. Roberts should have been a best picture winner.
