Did you know
- TriviaIn the documentary, Listen to Me Marlon (2015), Marlon Brando called this movie "the worst movie I ever made in my life."
- GoofsNearing the midway point, when Candy has disrobed for General Smight, and she is shown from the rear, she appears to be completely nude. However, when shown from the front, a slim strip of her panties can be seen on her right hip. (This comment is from the generally available edited cut in the United States of 101 minutes, so may not be an issue in the full version of 124 minutes.)
- Alternate versionsThe version available to stream from Shout! Factory TV and Amazon Prime Video is much shorter, lasting only 1hr 40min. It has been heavily edited to shorten or remove many of the sexually explicit scenes and nudity, sexually suggestive conversation, and some other foul language. It is missing 24 minutes total from the original 124 minute version.

Featured review
I saw this film over the weekend on Showtime for the first time since I saw it in 1969. My memories of the film were sketchy and after it was over, I logged on here to find serious discussion of it so I could interpret some of the symbolism in the movie. What I found instead was inadequate discussion of what was good about the movie. Admittedly, it was over the top in a way that was typical of "alternative" movies in the late 60s, but there were some very interesting points that most people seem to overlook. Also open for dismissal seems to be the final sequence in the film where Candy walks through a field and passes each person she encountered during the movie. At the beginning of this sequence, she is wearing a pristine white sheet as a toga, but by the end of the stroll her sheet is covered in an ornate flower design. Almost throwaway bits during the stroll include Walter Matthau's army general as Don Quixote, the "Fountain of Youth" injections being given by James Coburn and John Astin's two characters being revealed as two aspects of the same. This movie seems quite capable of generating some serious discussion other than the obvious attack on its excesses and the vapid acting of the lead actress.
