Plot:	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. But the animal instincts of this overnight star soon prove to be the most cutthroat of all.
Overview:	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.
