not so good . the premise be simple enough and and it come pretty close to work in the novel by terry southern and mason hoffenberg represent take voltaire candide and set it in 60 america and with an innocent girl in place of the innocent young man and and and of course and make sex the central matter . the novel candy be lead far and far into lovemaking because she embody sympathy . this sympathy involve sense the need men have for her without ever really understand it and and so the joke be and apparently and that she have sex with various men because she misunderstand their lust for a deep spiritual needand this and the novelist suggest and be itself the essence of male sexuality represent the wish for a compliant and innocent beauty . it complicate satire and because at the same time it promote and mock arousal . do the movie do this . no . the movie offer a series of comic bit and each feature more or less great actor and encounter candy represent richard burton a the poet mcphisto and ringo starr a the mexican gardener emmanuel and james coburn a the surgeon dr. krankheit and walter matthau a general smight and charles aznavour a the hunchback and and marlon brando a the guru grindl . other part represent anita pallenberg and john huston and john astin and and sugar ray robinson . the title part be play by ewa aulin and a young swedish actress who in over her head . she pretty enough and but hardly subtlemore of a blank slate . the story and with a screenplay by buck henry and be mostly a picaresque sort of romp and with skit go on too long and so that the movie and despite it billing and be neither very sexy nor very funny . it a if it be aim for a sexier subject matter but a similar satirical approach a dr. strangelove and but it miss the mark nearly all the time .
