Don't politicize the movie. Everyone did business with the Nazis before WWII. This is a great movie. Don't be a wiener schnitzel!

Such a brilliant film. The tension of the times is brought to the forefront, but there is that undercurrent of wit to keep things in check. Great cast, sharp writing...probably the best film of Mr. Cagney's later years (much better than "Ragtime," IMHO), and a rare film turn from Miss Francis, a highly accomplished performer from television and the legitimate theatre. This is, without a doubt, Wilder's most underrated work, and it's a real gem.

what's the name of the song that the paraders sang?

This is the "last" movie Cagney starred in, and he found it hard as it was "unrelieved" comedy, which is very hard to do (as per his bio) he also wanted to punch Horst bucholz out for his acting and attempts to overact in every scene (again from his bio) Ragtime was sad to watch although he was in pain and could not even stand

I love this movie because it is so genius and anarchistic - it doesn´t spare anyone or anything. Also notice that it was filmed in the middle of cold war hottest situation. Pure classic footage.

Btw. Look at that in time 1:48. Something missing? Yes. Quadriga without Ironcross and eagle.

And yes, that black Mercedes 300 (W189?) looks absolutely perfect.

Thank you so much for posting this. I absolutely love this movie. Doesn't get the fame and exposure that it should in my opinion.

@masterDevis; This is a page with one of the funniest movies ever + not a rant forum for demagogues with blood pressure problems. Cool down + enjoy the movie !

@masterDevis take a chill pill buddy. I didn't say i was pro GDR, i said the city shoulda stayed divided--it had unique status in the cold war as an island city...now it is just another big city.

[masterDevis]

@555paint oh yeah? are you pro-communist world domination?! You pro-GULAGS AND FUCKING LABOR CAMPS?!!! PRO ZERO-TOLERANCE OF DISSIDENTS?!!!!!!!!

[masterDevis]

Hmph... didn't even bother to clean up the damn mess on their side of the city? wtf! Lazy Soviet bastards! And the people parading? they might as well have kept the Nazi salute if they're okay with living in the shittiest side of Berlin! What morons!

The best line in this film is when Cagney said "Mother of mercy is this the end of Rico
