A maniacally paced Cold War comedy with Cagney as a dictatorial Coca-Cola executive in West Berlin. A topical time capsule from the early 1960s, dated now but still very funny, with lots of references to old movies, some of them Cagney's. (There's even a grapefruit scene.) Cagney's so energized, you wonder whether he really did put benzedrine in his coffee. He's practically bouncing off the walls.
