Candy is based on the Terry Southern-Mason Hoffenberg satirical novel in much the same way that an elephant might be based on a mouse. All that is left is a smear. Candy (Ewa Aulin), a teeny-bopper who seems to be mentally retarded, is molested by a series of dirty old men in odd clothing. They include a Mexican gardener (Ringo Starr), a poet (Richard Burton), a guru (Marlon Brando), a Minuteman general (Walter Matthau), a surgeon (James Coburn), and Candy's uncle and father-both played by John Astin. The attacks take place on a pool table...

A way-out menu gives them something to talk about." Alas, the wit is insipid.

With his new penchant for self-deprecation, Nixon recalled how a young girl had stopped him on the street in New York and enthusiastically asked him to autograph his picture. "That's a wonderful picture, Mr. Nixon," the jumping teeny-bopper gushed. "It doesn't look like you at all." Asked to describe the "new" Nixon, he fingered his receding hairline and allowed: "Well, the new Nixon is older, to begin with. Perhaps he has acquired, I should hope, some more wisdom...

...BOPPER is the ultimate example of style triumphing alone, unsupported. Chantilly Lace, Big Bopper's Wedding, and Little Red Riding. Hood formed a merry trilogy, a song-chronicle; but how much further style would have carried the Big Bopper if he hadn't died with Holly and Richie Valens is open to question.5BOBBY VEE Subject of Controversy...
