    A professor's madcap life

    I loved this film, saw it on a German station before I switched to digital TV and though it was very badly dubbed it was still a great movie.

    One of the highlights is a very pretty girlie motorbike courier who rides around in boots and black tights with a short skirt.

    I sadly have no recording of this film and it does not seem to be available on the net.

    Can anyone help me in finding a copy ? I would pay a good price.

    Cheers Dave

    Still remember it after 30 years

    The movie does not contain a lot of special effects. It more a drama than a sci-fi flick. But the scenario such as the one decribed in the movie is getting more likely every day. Think of today's antibiotics-resistant bacteria, clearly a related problem.

    To the other reviewer from 2003: There is a German WIkipedia page about this movie "Zucker - Eine wirklich süße Katastrophe" (Sugar - a really sweet catastrophe. ) There you will find more information. For instance, a novel has been released in Germany, written by the dircector of the movie, Rainer Erler.
