Overview

Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called “the Stuff,” a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It’s got a delicious flavor to die for!

Viewing Notes

Great to see this on the big screen even if it was a DVD projection. Was hoping for a print but ah well. Great introduction by Larry Cohen (who couldn’t make b/c his dog was bitten by a rattlesnake!). Paul Glickman, who shot the film (and others by Cohen) was there to provide some fun anecdotes. Also bought an original “The Stuff” container signed by Larry and Paul.
