Inside Deep Throat (2005)

This documentary takes a look Inside Deep Throat, "The most profitable film of all time" and the scandal that followed.

Ground breaking director Gerard Damiano would go on to do a whole slew of XXX porno movies in the 70's and 80's. He is considered to be amongst the most artistic and talented directors in the adult industry. Known for legendary greats such as The Devil In Miss Jones and Odyssey. Deep Throat is the one that started it all. "Shot for $25,000 and grossing somewhere over six million" and the cast and crew would leave the film virtually penny less. There is probably no other film in history that suffered a tragedy as great as Deep Throat. From the legal end to the involvement of organized crime. Inside Deep Throat takes us through the films legacy up until today.

Hollywood favorites such as Jack Nicholson and cult icons such as John Watters and Harry Reems as well as court attorney's, right down to projectionists help share some light on Deep Throat and its affects on society.

For many, Deep Throat was a symbol of freedom. A last staple in the sexual revolution and for others it was pure smut and was used as an example of moral decay in order for the politicians to censor Americans and keep adult material off of the streets. With every police raid and court trial the film grew stronger and would make that much more money in another city. Actor Harry Reems faced up to five years imprisonment for nothing more then acting in the movie. Ignorant women's activist groups fought the film, the church fought the film and middle class Americans fought to have the right to see it. This amazing documentary serves as a great time capsule to a time when the fight for artistic freedom could very well put you behind bars or even in the ground.

Inside Deep Throat is the perfect watch for anyone who holds the golden age of porn close to their immoral little hearts.
