Candy Christian (Ewa Aulin) is an innocent yet luscious high school student and when fate sends her on a far-out journey of sexual discovery - Candy on her trippy travels, encounters lust and lunacy at the hands 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, Elsa Martinelli, Florinda Bolkan, Anita Pallenberg, Enrico Maria Salerno and boxing legend 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 (Easy Rider) and Mason Hoffenberg that scandalized the decade! Screenplay by the great Buck Henry (The Graduate) and directed by actor Christian Marquand (Of Flesh and Blood). Bonus Features: Interview with Screenwriter Buck Henry | Interview with Film Critic and Historian Kim Morgan I Original Theatrical Trailer | Radio Spots Review: Enjoy the trip - One of the great white elephants of the cinema, 'Candy' is very rarely shown on British television, making a DVD purchase pretty much the only way to enjoy this bizarre sixties romp. And it is enjoyable once you get past the rather vague screenplay, the rampant sexism and the spot-the-Hollywood-superstar in a potentially career-ending performance, including Marlon Brando as an Indian guru and Richard Burton as a lecherous romantic poet. It is best, however, to forget Ringo Starr's Mexican gardener. The Byrds soundtrack is spot-on though. Wierdly hypnotic in a way that only a film of a certain type made in the late sixties can be, 'Candy' can genuinely claim to be unique and it somehow manages to hold itself together to become a true enigma. Based loosely on Voltaire's 'Candide' updated for the hippie generation, the film flows seamlessly from one strange scene to another with little or no connection between them. The thing is though, the longer you watch, the more you find yourself forgiving the film's shortcomings and enjoying yourself until the whole thing finally runs out of steam and finishes with a quite wonderful final scene featuring the beautiful star, Ewa Aulin, wandering dreamlike through the entire cast of the film who have gathered in a sunlit meadow, appearing for all the world to be a festival crowd. So, sit back, dim the lights, and enjoy the trip... Review: Top Stars in a Great Comedy - A great film with a fantastic cast. I first saw this film when it was broadcast on ITV. The only write up in the TV Times, (That.'s how long ago it was) was the title CANDY. .If you like the idea of an adult comedy combined with some of the top stars of that era, you'll love this film. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 309 Reviews | ## Images ![CANDY (1968) - CANDY (1968) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yxg4-pfiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoy the trip *by S***X on 11 December 2010* One of the great white elephants of the cinema, 'Candy' is very rarely shown on British television, making a DVD purchase pretty much the only way to enjoy this bizarre sixties romp.

I first saw this film when it was broadcast on ITV. The only write up in the TV Times, (That.'s how long ago it was) was the title CANDY. .If you like the idea of an adult comedy combined with some of the top stars of that era, you'll love this film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice movie *by A***L on 24 November 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 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Candy - The Magic Christian --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/52326254-candy-1968-candy-1968](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/52326254-candy-1968-candy-1968) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
