Thanks – I was also thinking of this film over the weekend with all the news commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago. In some ways the bilateral cynical jabs of Wilder's film has more lasting value than the euphoria of that moment.

I have personal reasons for loving this movie, so I can't possibly be objective about it. I think you're right that it's a fun movie to listen too. I think the choice of The Sabre Dance as the music for the film is a perfect compliment. My favorite gag in the film is the East German torture technique with the 45 of “Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” which, again, is a gag using sound.
