One, Two, Three/Trivia

• Actor Allusion:
  • Red Buttons appears as an MP who does a "You dirty rat" impression to the face of CR MacNamara... played by James Cagney.
  • Cagney holds up a piece of fruit so it looks like his famous "grapefruit" scene from The Public Enemy.
• Fake Nationality: Apart from the German-speaking actors playing the Russians, Lilo Pulver, the actress playing Ingeborg, is actually Swiss.
• Too Soon: Especially the Germans weren't very fond of Billy Wilder making fun of the wall. The movie was Vindicated by History though - later, in The Eighties.
