Candy Movie Review 1968

Sexual satire, based on the book by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, can't sustain its simple premise. The teenaged nubile, blonde, and naive title character (Aulin) sets out to discover her sexual awakening and gets chased by every kook she meets, including guru Brando, alcohlic poet Burton, gardener Starr, general Matthau, hunchback Aznavour, surgeon Coburn, and even her own dad, Astin. Very much of part of its psychedelic age.
