Sugar

About This Movie

So, 'Sugar' is this curious little gem from 1982 that takes a playful jab at the Prohibition era, with its story of musicians on the run from the mob. The vibe is lighthearted, filled with comedic moments that feel a bit like a nostalgic nod to the past. The pacing has an old-school rhythm, really reminiscent of classic musicals, and there's a certain charm in the performances as the leads navigate their disguises as women in an all-female band. I found the practical effects and set designs to be quite engaging, contributing to that vintage atmosphere. It’s fascinating to see how it draws from Wilder’s work but adds its own twist, making it a bit distinctive in its approach to the source material.

A whimsical take on the Prohibition era.Interesting performances amidst the comedic chaos.Unique adaptation of a classic story.
