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.
This is a breath of fresh air from what I am used to watching. This movie shows a good example of how hard the Japanese work for their companies even while not getting paid as much as they hope for. I can definitely say the same for today in Japan on how hard the Japanese work. It's unhealthy in my book.This movie is fast paced and entertaining from stop to finish. I wish this movie was longer. The woman that plays the poor girl that rises from the slums to a star did marry the actor that plays the younger man that is told to look after her in real life.
