Will Salvation Spoil Candy Caine?

About This Movie

So, here we have 'Will Salvation Spoil Candy Caine?'—a quirky little gem from 1964 that just radiates that oddball 60s vibe. It's a student film, which already gives it an air of raw authenticity, and the rock-and-roll spoof angle? Totally charming. Candy Caine is this rock aficionado caught up in the ploys of a Reverend who's set on saving her from her wild ways. Then there's Poop Decker, her ex, who brings a whole new level of chaos. The pacing's a bit erratic, but it fits the playful tone. And you can really sense the youthful energy in the performances. It's a snapshot of a colorful era and showcases that blend of rebellion and innocence that defines the time well.

This film is a rare find, preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, making it a notable piece for collectors interested in student films and 1960s culture. Its format history is quite limited, which adds to its allure, as it hasn’t been widely circulated. Collectors often appreciate its playful take on rock-and-roll tropes, and the film's unique charm reflects the experimental spirit of its time.
