A '70s sexual awakening film that's actually trying to say something? Bold.
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.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director 'Cecil B. Damill' is almost certainly a pseudonym—no other credits exist, suggesting industry veterans hiding from this project's reputation.
Released during the brief 'porno chic' era when films like Deep Throat and Behind the Green Door crossed into mainstream discourse, this tried to ride that wave with extra psychotherapy.
