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 goodin the past. The film contains all of those things that are now considered politically incorrect & we, all 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 rollickingin 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 really 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 appearingin 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 tonguein 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, all obviously enjoying themselvesin a comedy that still stands up today.
