"A Smell of Honey, a Swallow of Brine" was a classic sexploitation movie released in 1966.

It was produced by David F. Friedman the self-proclaimed mighty monarch of the exploitation film. It is quite different from his other films however, in that, instead of being merely soft-core porn, it has many interesting aspects that set it apart. It is filmed very crudely and the quality of the only complete existing print is scratched, but this oddly enough adds to the presence the film creates.

Also notable is the trance-inducing repetitious soundtrack performed by a local group called "et cetra". The movie is filled with brief nudity throughout, breasts and rear-ends only. During the time of its release it would have been very shocking if it had been mainstream, as it deals with rape, lesbianism, BDSM, nudity, and violence, however, like other Friedman films it was shown mostly in the chain of Pussycat theatres which existed in California.
