. I love Billy Wilder, but this isn’t his best comedy, or even among his top ten movies (see The Apartment, The Fortune Cookie, Stalag 17, the underrated Ace in the Hole, Witness for the Prosecution, Ball of Fire, Sabrina, Love in the Afternoon, Sunset Blvd. and Ninotchka all rank above it)

Wilder's "One, Two, Three" is one of the funniest movies ever made, and Cagney's performance was one of the most brilliant comedy performances ever.

TOTALLY COMPLETELY AGREE. If you have never seen cagney in One, Two, Three you are in for a delightful evening. I think it is on instant play on netflix. Brilliant.
