Candy
Her Name Is Candy...And Everybody Wants A Taste.
Candy Christian (Ewa Aulin) is an innocent yet luscious high school student when fate sends her on a far-out journey of sexual discovery. On her trippy travels, Candy encounters lust and lunacy at the hands -- and other body parts -- of a drunken poet (Richard Burton), a Mexican gardener (Ringo Starr), a patriotic general (Walter Matthau), a mad surgeon (James Coburn), and a mystic guru (Marlon Brando). Can the world's most stalwart members get their own sweet piece of Candy? Or will a final freaky twist swallow her whole forever?
John Astin, Charles Aznavour, John Huston, Anita Pallenberg and Sugar Ray Robinson co-star in this notoriously sexy '60s satire, featuring music by The Byrds and Steppenwolf and based on the novel by Terry Southern that scandalized the decade!

60s Gibberish - Nik-
There was a time when things didn't have to make sense because everyone was perpetually stoned. That's my explanation for this movie, anyway. This playful, silly, pointless romp goes back and forth for an hour and a half and then ends. What does it mean?
It was the 60s, man. It means nothing. Movies didn't really have to mean anything back then. Gibberish passed itself off as profundity.
It's all based on the novel Candy. Which makes me want to find the novel and figure out what the heck this movie was trying to do.
Brief summary: a young woman who is perpetually naive has sex with many different actors in various situations, and yet there is nothing sexual about the film. Many big Hollywood names take part for some reason.
Think "Barberella" with a lower budget.
