Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers (1980)
Director: Les Blank
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Better than any dry martini as an aperitif, even in the non-Smellaround version, this documentary eulogy to garlic sure gets the juices going. Featuring such eccentrics as the Chief Garlic Head, and tabling the many and varied delights of the 'stinking rose', this is a real breath of fresh air. Will repeat and repeat.Author: FF
