Christian Marquand's 'Candy' Blu-ray Announced

The 1968 film has received a new 2K restoration and will be available on Blu-ray in May.

In an early announcement to retailers, Kino says 'Candy' will arrive on Blu-ray on May 17.

Candy Christian (Ewa Aulin) is an innocent yet luscious high school student when fate sends her on a far-out journey of sexual discovery. On her trippy travels, Candy encounters lust and lunacy at the hands - and other body parts - of a drunken poet (Richard Burton), a Mexican gardener (Ringo Starr), a patriotic general (Walter Matthau), a mad surgeon (James Coburn), and a mystic guru (Marlon Brando). Can the world's most stalwart members get their own sweet piece of Candy? Or will a final freaky twist swallow her whole forever?

Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements include: New Interview with Screenwriter Buck Henry; New Interview with Film Critic and Historian Kim Morgan; Two Radio Spots; and Original Theatrical Trailer.
