From the movie Candy from the book and screenplay by Terry Southern. Candy was played by Ewa Aulin who was a 16-year-old Miss Sweden when she began her career in exploitation cinema, starting with prolific erotic aesthete Tinto Brass’ Deadly Sweet (1967), followed by her breakthrough role as the teen temptress in Giulio Questi’s Death Laid An Egg alongside European mega-stars Gina Lollabrigida and Jean-Louis Trinignant (a role she would re-imagine for The Double (1971). Aulin was unleashed on American audiences with the movie adaptation of Terry Southern’s psychedelic Candy in 1968, where she floated through the muddled incestuous subplot with an endearing naivete. 1972-73 were Aulin’s banner years in terms of onscreen skin, appearing in a few of the better Decamerotics, including My Pleasure is Your Pleasure and Vittorio De Sisti’s Fiorina the Cow, but her piece de resistance – whose steamy lesbian sequence was cut out for American release – was Joe D’Amato’s Death Smiles on A Murderer (1972). In 2002, the German TV doco Ewa Aulin – Die Zeit mit mir als Candy was assembled in tribute to this Swedish nymphette, whose career was brief but momentous.
