Don't know about the other, but didn't Mel Brooks play someone named Goddard in Life Stinks? I don't know if Bolts was the last name.

In "Life Stinks", Mel Brooks' character's name was Goddard Bolt
(Lesley Ann Warren was his co-star)

"Why do you think I wear this outfit, because I'm a barber?"

Billy Wilder was one of the greatest! One, Two, Three sounds familiar. Is that with Jimmy Cagney? I think I remember seeing that years ago, but I don't recall much about it. He was an American businessman in Germany after the war, right?

for Best Supporting in this film, very well deserved.

Jimmy Cagney played such a manic comedic role in One, Two, Three that he was exhausted after the film. He retired for 20 years, only to play in one more film (Ragtime) in the 80s. His role in Mister Roberts was masterful!

Cagney was just fantastic. And William Powell was in his finest form. The whole cast was awesome, really, but it was one of Jack Lemmon's very best roles, which is saying a lot. He won Best Supporting Actor for that part. He's one of my all-time favorites, ever. He was great in The Apartment, another fantastic Billy Wilder classic. But him and Walter Matthau together, that's one of the best teams ever on film!
