I actually saw THE GOLDEN BED in 1990 in Syracuse; the Candy Ball is the only sequence I remember from it! It's somewhat reminiscent of that other crazy costume ball that DeMille featured in MADAM SATAN.

Awesome! Thanks, Ian!!!!!

The highlight of the film is the "candy ball", one of DeMille's most erotic sequences, with doting young men biting strategically placed marshmallows from the glittering gowns of Flora Lee's beautiful girlfriends....
