I totally missed that (well, not the Spartacus, but the Eins Zwei Drei). But ya know what else I missed when I saw Bridge Of Spies? There were no multiplexes in '60-'61. To be perfectly accurate, there are isolated accounts of "twinned" theaters here and there going back to the '30s and even '20s, but the three, four or five-screen multiplex didn't become commonplace even in the U.S. until the '70s. And also: BRIDGE OF SPIES is set in 1957. ONE, TWO, THREE premiered in 1961. If I recall, the story does begin in '57, but a major plot point later in the film involves Donovan's negotiations for the release of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, who was shot down over the USSR in mid-'60. Had to look this next part up, but the "bridge of spies" swap of Powers for a KGB officer that climaxes the film took place in Feb '62. Spielberg was on safe ground for Spartacus and One, Two, Three, looks like. Can't say much about the other titles, except that one of them looks like Die Verdammten ( The Damned). I know only of the 1969 Visconti film of that name.
