I remember that one. Hollywood attempting to show communists as young, hip, attractive and appealing while contrasting the stuffy Mammon-worshiping communist stereotype of a Yank . . .
I don’t think the Communists came out looking very good in this one. In fact, whatever potshots Wilder takes at the West it’s clear that our side is portrayed as the better one and the one you’d want to be a part of.
If you think Billy Wilder was a communist you’re full of beans.
