  • Summary

  • For the pilot episode of the History on Film Podcast, we look at Billy Wilder's 1961 Cold War comedy "One, Two, Three" and the role of Coca Cola in postwar Europe. Will James Cagney be able to unite East and West with the great taste of Coke? What happens when the construction of the Berlin Wall during post-production ruins the entire plot of a movie? And why was Gorbachev in a Pizza Hut commercial?!
