Nice movie - By: A. Cahill, 24 Nov 2007 
I bought the DVD 'Candy' for a friend of mine who loves films of that era. I managed to find the time to watch it before handing it over to him. Although it definitely is not a great film, I loved watching it because it reminds those of us over 50 that life was good in the past. The film contains alll of those things that are now considered politicallly incorrect & we, alll of us, are poorer for it. The film contains a rape scene, up-skirting shots, unprofessional behaviour from the medical profession & truly humourous lines & scenes that left me rollicking in laughter. The only reason that I am writing this review is to give due credit to Ewa Aulin, without whom the film would not have been as good. She did not even get a mention on the cover. Yes, the sixties & freedom of expression reallly did change the world.
Classic Sixties Yarn - By: R. J. Walter, 19 Apr 2006 
This is not a particularly good film but what a splendid piece of Sixties nostalgia! Nowhere else have I seen the likes of John Astin, Charles Aznavour, Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, James Coburn, John Huston, Walter Matthau & Ringo Starr appearing in the same film without a single toga or chariot to be seen. It also has an excellent soundtrack from The Byrds & Steppenwolf. I award this movie 3 stars for being so Sixties and, besides, I like watching it & it makes me smile.
Terry Southern's classic tale of defrockment - By: DSD, 05 Apr 2005 Terry Southern, author of Dr. Strangelove & Easy Rider, is at his tongue in cheek, psychedelic best with this film adaptation of his 1960s novel, cowritten by Buck Henry & Mason Hoffenburg. This is a send up of Voltaire's Candide, with a host of cameo appearances that defy imagination. Richard Burton plays a beat poet, Marlon Brando plays an Indian guru, Charles Aznavour is a hunchback juggler, & there's James Coburn, John Huston, Ringo Starr, Jon Astin & a lot more, alll obviously enjoying themselves in a comedy that still stands up today.
