Candy Lips

Candy Lips is the story of a young woman's search for sexual satisfaction, without guilt or fear. In her early years, Susan remembers her upsetting home life which she endured until she made her bid for freedom and went to college. Frustrated by her broken home, she tries to realign her sensitivity, only to be disrupted time and again by the "new morality" of her recent college atmosphere. It is sometime later that Susan meets Gloria; an artist both in her painting and lifestyle who introduces her to a new and healthy view of sex.

Directed by Cecil B. Damill, Candy Lips leans on a strong ensemble — Susan McBain, Jeanette Sinclair, Lois Luv — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1977.
