If you are not old enough to be married, you can not see it"; "Their kind of kinship means anything goes!"; "Was she too old at 14?") starring Ashley Brooks, George Ellis, Trudy Moore, Mike Coolik and Jim Peck. Note that this movie has a mysterious and convoluted history that is not helped by the fact that it was apparently re-edited more than once and is known by several titles, including Shantytown Honeymoon, Honey Britches, Little Whorehouse on the Prairie, The Hillbilly Hooker, and more. It appears that it first had a very limited release in 1971, and a slightly wider release in 1972. At some point, producer Fred Olen Ray bought the film, shot new scenes with John Carradine and gave it another limited release as Demented Death Farm Massacre. In 1986, Ray sold the film to Troma who released the film to video. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
