I cannot stand John Astin, so I just fast-forwarded whenever I heard his annoying voice. Ewa Aulin who was a young actress with very little experience, plays the lead character, Candy. Her job is to be innocent and act bewildered and amazed by the world around her.
The rest of the movie, is extremely off the rails bizarre, funny, sarcastic, and odd. The weirdest part is with Richard Burton. He brutally parodies himself as a drunken pervert ego-maniacal celebrity. I was shocked at the harsh honesty of his role, and that he was willing to do it.
The rest of the cast is fun. Can you imagine Marlon Brando, Walter Mathou, Richard Burton, Ringo Starr, James Coburn, John Huston, Charles Aznavour, Anita Pallenberg all in the same movie? Unfortunately, none of the great stars act together in the same scenes. That is very sad.
The military bit with Walter Matthou was not very funny. He just shouted slogans at John Astin and the other characters. Candy (Ewa Aulin) reacted to the ridiculousness of his acting. That was probably the least entertaining segment.
This movie is a collection of skits / commentaries on 1960s society. Each bit features some really good actor with some good supporting characters, but none of it is really connected. It is almost like a psychedelic version of Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), but with a much better cast than Kentucky Fried Movie had.
