When three rival candy companies go to war for
market supremacy, World Caramels enlists a lower-class girl with appallingly bad
teeth to be their new spokesmodel. In a world of industrial spies, hostile
takeovers and boardroom hysterics, the animal instincts of this overnight star
prove to be the most cutthroat of all.
This razor-sharp, fast-paced attack on post-war corporate society and TV culture
plays like a Japanese combination of Dr. Strangelove and Will Success
Spoil Rock Hunter?. More valid today than the day it was made, New Wave
master Yasuzo Masumura’s DaieiScope explosion of color, sound and acid
wit ranks with the best satires of Billy Wilder and Frank Tashlin.
