Aro Recommended Candyman - The David Klein Story

 

USA 2010, 76 minutes
Dir. Costa Botes
Rating: [Exempt]
Genres: Documentary

Topics: Business & Economics.

 

Aroview: The sweet-and-sour story of David Klein, the eccentric candy inventor behind "Jelly Belly" jelly beans, who through complex circumstance, gave it all up just as the business exploded into a billion dollar enterprise in the 1980's.

Venturing stateside, NZ director Costa Botes strikes documentary gold in the affable Klein, whose long-suppressed, genuinely "untold" story of triumph and heartbreak adds to a canon of extraordinary stories of the American Dream interrupted. Features generous interviews with family members and business associates, and even parody maestro Weird Al Yankovic!
