Abstract: The celebrated theorem of Berger, Coburn and Lebow on pairs of commuting isometries can be formulated as follows: a pure isometry $V$ on a Hilbert space $mathcalH$ is a product of two commuting isometries $V_1$ and $V_2$ in $mathcalB(mathcalH)$ if and only if there exists a Hilbert space $mathcalE$, a unitary $U$ in $mathcalB(mathcalE)$ and an orthogonal projection $P$ in $mathcalB(mathcalE)$ such that $(V,V_1,V_2)$ and $(M_z,M_{Phi},M_{Psi})$ on $H_{mathcalE}^2(mathbbD)$ are unitarily equivalent, where [ Phi(z)=(P+zP^{perp})U^*; ext{and}; Psi(z)=U(P^{perp}+zP) ;;(z in mathbb{D}). ] Here we prove a similar factorization result for pure contractions. More particularly, let $T$ be a pure contraction on a Hilbert space $mathcalH$ and let $P_{mathcalQ}{M}_z{|}_{mathcalQ}$ be the Sz.-Nagy and Foias representation of $T$ for some canonical $mathcalQsubseteq{H}_{mathcalD}^2(mathbbD)$. Then $T=T_1{T}_2$, for some commuting contractions $T_1$ and $T_2$ on $mathcalH$, if and only if there exists $mathcalB(mathcalD)$-valued polynomials $varphi$ and $psi$ of degree $leq1$ such that $mathcalQ$ is a joint $(M_{varphi}^{\ast },M_{psi}^{\ast })$-invariant subspace, [P_{mathcal{Q}} M_z|_{mathcal{Q}} = P_{mathcal{Q}} M_{varphi psi}|_{mathcal{Q}} = P_{mathcal{Q}} M_{psi varphi}|_{mathcal{Q}} ; mbox{and} ;(T_1, T_2) cong (P_{mathcal{Q}} M_{varphi}|_{mathcal{Q}}, P_{mathcal{Q}} M_{psi}|_{mathcal{Q}}).]
