Hubert von Meyernick made one of his few Hollywood film appearances in Billy Wilder 's film satire '' One , Two , Three '' ( 1961 ) , portraying in a memorable supporting role the penniless aristocrat '' Count Waldemar von und zu Droste-Schattenburg '' , who adopts Horst Buchholz for financial reasons . Meyernicks skills in English were rather bad , so he was dubbed by German-American actor Sig Ruman . The Jewish Billy Wilder spoke about Meyernick in a 1997 interview with '' Der Spiegel '' : " I remember a gay actor , we called him '' Hubsi '' , Hubert von Meyernick . He never vaunted himself for that , but during the Kristallnacht he went along the Kurfürstendamm and called : '' If somebody among you is Jewish , follow me ! '' He cached the people in his apartment . Yes , there were decent people , whose words you could believe , that it was hard to do resistance during that time . People like Meyernick were marvelous , wonderful . " Meyerinck died from heart failure in Hamburg . He is buried in the Schladen cemetery near Braunschweig
