Inside Deep Throat Page #10

Synopsis: In 1972, a seemingly typical shoestring budget pornographic film was made in a Florida hotel, "Deep Throat," starring Linda Lovelace. This film would surpass the wildest expectation of everyone involved to become one of the most successful independent films of all time. It caught the public imagination which met the spirit of the times, even as the self appointed guardians of public morality struggled to suppress it, and created, for a brief moment, a possible future where sexuality in film had a bold artistic potential. This film covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star. In short, the combined events would redefine the popular appeal of pornography, even as more cynical developments would lead it down other paths.

was that a very cynical

pornography industry

came in on the heels

of the First Amendment

and began coining money

hand over fist.

(Mailer)

So, it changed the nature

of--of pornographic sex,

from art to money.

Money is not interested in

the little alleys

of endeavor--

of artistic endeavor.

It wants the main highway.

[cars honking]

(Cavett)

It's a really dramatic fact

that we have gone

from people staring up

at a marquee

and thinking

"What can deep throat mean?

Surely not

what I'm thinking"

to kids who don't

consider it sex.

(Charles Keating)

They perverted it

instead of improving it.

They took a beautiful thing

that God gave mankind,

and they perverted it.

And the results are obvious.

All you have to do

is look around.

(Hopper)

Deep Throat's

legacy goes beyond

the sexually saturated culture

that surrounds us today

and reaches back to

the beginnings

of a culture war

that divides us

as never before.

(Hopper)

Deep Throat was less about

the joys of oral sex

than it was about the freedom

to speak out against shame

and hypocrisy.

(reporter 1)

The FCC has fined

(reporter 2)

Congress is also

cracking down...

(reporter 3)

Three Supreme Court justices

are expected to retire

over the next four years.

(reporter 1)

Each of these 169...

[reporters chattering]

(Parrish)

Today, there are people

in the Department of Justice

in high places,

sympathetic with

obscenity laws.

I think today

the climate is

even more ripe

for vigorous enforcement

of obscenity laws.

Now if we could get

these terrorists to go away

[Parrish laughs]

and quit taking up

so much time of the,

uh, of

the Department of Justice...

All right?

(interviewer)

Thank you.

You're welcome.

# The changing of sunlight #

# To moonlight #

# Reflections of my life #

# Oh, how they fill my eyes #

# The greetings #

# Of people in trouble #

# Reflections of my life #

# Oh, how they fill my mind #

# All my sorrows #

# Sad tomorrows #

# Take me back #

# To my own home #

# All my cryings,

All my cryings #

# Feel I'm dying, dying #

# Take me back #

# To my own home #

# All my sorrows #

# Sad tomorrows #

(Sommer)

To this day,

people ask me to see

Deep Throat.

And they all, you know...

When they refer to Artie,

you know,

he has a deep throat, so.

They say,

"You know the guy with

the deep throat, you know?

"He's the one that did

Deep Throat. "

We always have to emphasize

that we didn't do it,

you know.

We just distributed it.

Because, he wouldn't...

I don't think he would...

Would you ever do that?

I wouldn't know how.

I knew it!

But if you did know how,

would you do it?

You have to think

about that?

[laughing]

Hey.

# All my sorrows #

# Sad tomorrows #

# Take me back #

# To my own home #

Okay.

Are we finished?

# All my sorrows ##

# Now I'm gonna tell you #

# The way it has to be #

# And if you pay attention #

# I'm sure that you will see #

# Just relax your muscles #

# And once

you've hit that spot #

# Keep right on pushin' #

# Then give it

all you've got #

# Now we've found

your tinkler #

# The solution

is quite clear #

# For if we both

can hit it now #

# The bells

you'll surely hear ##

(Lovelace)

Helen, there's got to be

more to life

[echoing]

than screwing around.

I mean,

there should be more to sex

[echoing]

than a lot of little tingles.

There should be bells ringing,

dams bursting,

bombs going off, something.

(Dr. Young)

Find the solution.

Like what?

Like deep throat.

[echoing]

Deep throat.

[echoing]

Deep throat.

Dr. Young.

[echoing]

Deep throat.

Dr. Young

[echoing]

Deep throat.

[echoing]

Deep throat.

[Lovelace echoing]

Oh, Dr. Young.
