Candy Man - The David KIein Story (2010) 75 min

Candy Man is the story about how David Klein built the Jelly Belly business from scratch, starting out renting a corner of an ice cream store to market his product, only to hand it over for mere "jelly beans" to the current owners - Herman Goelitz Candy Company.  The film goes over Kleins' home life as well as his questionable marketing antics.  What is displayed as a very hostile take over of his business sparks debate over Klein's ability or inability to fight for the fruit of his labor.
