Taste of Candie Evans

About This Movie

'Taste of Candie Evans' is one of those under-the-radar gems from the late '80s that really captures the quirky vibe of the era. The film dances around the idea of innocence versus seduction, blending a kind of playful naiveté with the more risqué elements that were becoming popular at the time. Candie, played with a unique charm, has this disarming ability to draw you into her escapades on the Sunset Strip, and there's something almost surreal about her escapades. The pacing has a laid-back rhythm that makes it feel more like a colorful dream than a straightforward narrative, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm that complements the story’s whimsical nature.

This film is somewhat elusive among collectors, with only a handful of VHS releases and a couple of DVD compilations floating around. It doesn't pop up often at conventions or in swap meets, so when you find it, it tends to spark conversations among collectors about its peculiar charm and the era it represents. The art and packaging of the releases have varied, adding to its uniqueness in the catalog, and the scarcity really piques interest in this particular title.
