  Guide opening:

Everybody knows Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot, a movie that the American Film Institute recently named the greatest comedy ever made in the United States. Unfortunately, far fewer movie fans are familiar with One, Two, Three, another black-and-white comic masterpiece directed by Wilder just two years later.

Set in Berlin during the summer of 1960, One, Two, Three is an incisive, fast-paced satire - a Cold War clash of capitalism and communism in the months before the construction of the Berlin Wall. Deceptively light-hearted in tone, the film contains surprisingly serious undertones. As the ideological battles rage, a personal struggle between the demands of career advancement and the burdens of family responsibility simmers just below the surface.

  An excerpt from the commentary:

James Cagney, as C.R. MacNamara, devotes his life to the management of two major challenges. First, he labors tirelessly to convince Coca-Cola's corporate bigwigs to promote him to a choice job in London. Second, he connives incessantly to keep his family out of the way of his career ambitions. MacNamara has remarkably little trouble juggling these two priorities. Only a third challenge, an unexpected request to watch over his Atlanta boss' wild 17-year old daughter, causes his orderly life to spin out of control.

The commentary is supplemented by BREAKOUT BOXES dealing with these topics:

	Coke vs. Pepsi Behind the Iron Curtain
	10 Lessons from One, Two, Three
	The Tax Advantages of Working Abroad
	If MacNamara Were My Father

THE GUIDE also includes an essay that looks at business as depicted in the movies. For an introductory section on how to use the Management Goes to the Movies™ program, click through to Using The MGTTM Training Program.
