The Frame

Starts off fast and the pace only accelerates to keep up with James Cagney’s fast-talking Coca-Cola marketer in Berlin, charged with keeping his boss’s daughter safe when she visits–a task that quickly becomes more than he bargained for when she secretly marries a communist from East Berlin and plans to move to Moscow with him. This film is not as well-known as many of Billy Wilder’s other classics, like Double Indemnity or Some Like It Hot or The Apartment, and maybe it isn’t quite as groundbreaking as they are, but it really deserves to be seen and enjoyed. Once I got into it, I was hooked and it never let me go.
