One, Two, Three (1961)
Billy Wilder’s One, Two, Three (1961) captures the manic energy and political absurdity of the Cold War at its peak, using rapidfire comedy to satirize capitalism, communism, and American corporate swagger. The film’s breakneck pace and biting wit reflect a moment when global tensions were filtered through sharp humor, making it one of Wilder’s most aggressive and modern-feeling comedies.
Designed by Saul Bass, the poster translates that chaos into bold graphic simplicity, using a striking red field, abstract figures, and numbered balloons to suggest escalation, speed, and pressure. Bass’s signature minimalist style, hand-drawn typography, and limited palette emphasize motion and confrontation, visually mirroring the film’s relentless rhythm and satirical edge.
