## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Billy Wilder takes on post-war Berlin, which seems ambitious. A US Army captain juggles a congresswoman's investigation and a relationship with a former Nazi singer. It's probably fair to say the film-makers had a good time.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, pitch-black
