this adult classic be late filmmaker alex de renzy own personal favorite among a body of work that include the like of babyface and femmes de sade and wild thing . many fan agree . personally and i think that while some of his other movie might be more impressive on a purely sexual scale ( the now extremely hard to locate femmes de sade in particular ) this one surely stand a his best combination of hardcore sex with a honest to goodness light n breezy bit oplot . say plot actually derive from voltaire literary classic candide about a naive young thing be manipulate by all and sundry . this story be well know to most people from the saucy rework it receive by terry southern and mason hoffenberg for their 60 bestseller candy and itself subject to a heavily compromise film version with ewa aulin essay the title role with an all star cast include richard burton and and er and ringo starr . the adult industry have adapt this timeless tale on ( at least ) three major occasion and de renzy attempt here be both the best as well a best know . former playmate gail palmer allegedly helm ( in actuality and she be always ably support by the like of bob chinn and jeffrey fairbanks ) the erotic adventure of candy the same year peach come out with former gong show bimbette carol connors ( mother of mainstream actress thora birch . ) who would also star in the slightly less sequel candy go to hollywood . gerard ( deep throat ) damiano revive the character ( sort of ) for his late 80 candys little sister sugar with the adorable ariel knight . late prince of carnal comedy chuck vincent finally bring the tale to the screen in his own inimitable manner with dirty lilly and put saucy squaw beth anna ( the hyaptia lee of the 70 ) through her pace and emphasize a per usual fun over and er and frolic . it interest to compare the candy series to peach and it sequel . where palmer and damiano be quite content to leave their much abuse heroine a blissful bimbo unaware of the injustice heap upon her and make her come across a if she would be kick in the head a a kid and de renzy take a decidedly different route . desirée cousteau may be very much the ultimate ditz with a head full of air and a body build for bump n grind but the character be rethink fairly radically for subsequent decade . the mid 80 pretty peach ii have underrate siobhan hunter ( a treat and a half in ron sullivan very funny the odd couple ) elevate the part from brain dead to naive . still a decade later latina love goddess keisha ( the seduction of jennifer ) would portray peach a merely inexperienced and therefore vulnerable to those predator around her in the wonderful pretty peach iii represent the quest . the difference in approach may strike some a superficial window dress but make for a fascinating growth in the character a de renzy rather than continue the story choose to retell the tale for new time and sensibility .
