...Though other Southern-scripted movies are available on video (most prominently "Barbarella"), fans of his work are advised to first check out the film version of "Candy" (1968) which recently made its home-video and DVD debut from Anchor Bay. On a par with "Skidoo" (1968) and "Myra Breckinridge" (1970) (both sadly unavailable) in the must-be-seen-to-be-believed category, "Candy" is a 100% product of the 1960s -- lavishly budgeted, star-studded, exceptionally drug-inflected sex comedy...

A group of snowmobilers who whined into the forbidden area two winters ago and were promptly arrested are now local folk heroes dubbed the Ely Ten. The strife has also been marked by violence: car windows have been broken, tires slashed and 200-year-old trees felled to block access to the canoeing paradise...
