3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sixties Yarn, 19 April 2006
By R. J. Walter "Roger W" (Maidenhead, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 and 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 and Steppenwolf. I award this movie 3 stars for being so Sixties and, besides, I like watching it and it makes me smile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice movie, 24 Nov 2007
By A. Cahill (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 all of those things that are now considered politically incorrect and we, all of us, are poorer for it. The film contains a rape scene, up-skirting shots, unprofessional behaviour from the medical profession and truly humourous lines and 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 and freedom of expression really did change the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terry Southern's classic tale of defrockment, 5 April 2005
Terry Southern, author of Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider, is at his tongue in cheek, psychedelic best with this film adaptation of his 1960s novel, cowritten by Buck Henry and 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, and there's James Coburn, John Huston, Ringo Starr, Jon Astin and a lot more, all obviously enjoying themselves in a comedy that still stands up today.

2.0 out of 5 stars Candy
Having read Terry Southern's book I expected the movie to be equally hilarious. The stellar cast playing the outrageous characters further ignited imagination. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Miss Candy
A road movie, mixed in with soft porn, comic madness and dated satire, it is very much of its time and in a similar vein to the Magic Christian. Read more
