Candy was a Terry Southern-penned parody of Candide that somehow got made into a movie starring Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, and Ringo Starr, the last as a Mexican gardener. (Yay, the ’60!) Also starring: James Coburn, John Huston, Walter Matthau, and Sugar Ray Robinson (!) Anyway, the scene above gives us Burton as Macphisto (hello, Bono!), a drunken Welsh poet (is there any other kind?) who takes a fancy to our heroine.
[Warning: the above clip features feminine undergarments and brutish behavior. The whole thing is so ridiculous that I felt safe putting it up. Still, make your own call on this one.]
Matthew,
A question and an observation:
First the question: Did Roman Polanski ghost-direct this movie?
Also, a movie showing hundreds of teenagers screaming at the top of their lungs for a poet? Well, I don't suppose the movie can be all THAT bad…
