Candy, a psychedelic 1960s sex comedy, is famous for being terrible. Everyone who was in it admitted it was terrible, and the leading lady retired shortly afterwards. Marlon Brando said it was the worst movie he ever made - quite a criticism. Although, his vignette contained the funniest joke: while trying to uncross his legs from Lotus position, he falls off his chair and topples to the ground.
Ewa Aulin, the beautiful, spacy title character, plays the object of everyone's desire. Literally, every single man in the movie tries (and most succeed) to sleep with her, even her own father. As she innocently agrees to everyone's requests to take over her clothes, bend over, and get into bed. From Walter Matthau's "if you love your country, take off your clothes" speech, to Richard Burton declaring his "enormous need" while in the backseat of his car, this is one ridiculous vignette after another. Ringo Starr pretends to be a Mexican gardener, Marlon Brando is an Indian guru taking her through the different levels of enlightenment, James Coburn is a master surgeon who teaches her to play doctor, and John Astin is her incestuous father. Richard Burton spoofs his pal Dylan Thomas, lecturing poetry and bringing along his own wind machine so his hair always flutters around his face.
Unless you like watching notoriously terrible movies, don't watch this one. It's basically two hours devoted to showing off Ewa Aulin's face and body. She is a very beautiful young lady, but that's hardly a good reason to watch what could be described as a two-hour drug hallucination.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. There are some psychedelic camera movies and weird tilt/zooms throughout the movie, and it will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to sexual content and incest, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
