Inside Deep Throat
##[Crime Of The Century
by Supertramp playing]
# Now they're planning
# Well what will it be? #
# Read all about their schemes
and adventuring #
# It's well worth a fee ##
We are living
in a glorious time,
a time of great conflict
to be sure.
(male newsreader 1)
Today, a nationwide crackdown
was underway...
(male newsreader 2)
...eight men were arrested
from...
(male newsreader 3)
...hardcore
pornographic pictures.
(Gerard Damiano)
On one side of the coin
are those in favor
of absolutely no censorship.
[crowd clamoring]
On the other hand,
there are those who advocate
the government dictating to us
what we should see,
read, and hear.
(newsreader 1)
... they say it all started
with the sex film Deep Throat.
##[Spill the Wine
(Waters)
I saw Deep Throat in New York
when it first came out.
(Larry Flynt)
People were lined up
# I was once out strolling
one very hot summer's day #
Oh, yeah, there was
a screening in some
psychoanalyst's apartment
and everybody
watched and smoked dope.
Oh, yeah.
# I dreamed I was
# That I was the star
of the movie #
# This really blew my mind #
(Dr. Westheimer)
I thought, "Fantastic.
"This is going to change
the climate
"of talking about
issues of sexuality
# Spill the wine
and take that pearl ##
(Dick Cavett)
I'm one of the handful
I didn't intend to not see it.
[clattering]
Perhaps you could
arrange for me to see it.
Now.
[machine humming]
[projector whirring]
(Camille Paglia)
Deep Throat was
an epochal moment
in the history
of modern sexuality.
It is the first time
that respectable
middle-class women
went to porn theaters.
uh, traditional codes
of--of decorum.
(Hugh Hefner)
Linda Lovelace,
and conversations,
appeared
on network television.
If the film
became mainstream,
conversation about it
became truly mainstream.
It's kind of
a strange country, isn't it?
Judges can see Deep Throat,
but they can't listen
to those tapes.
[audience laughing]
(Hefner)
that set, uh,
it had a gimmick.
Ah! Ah--ah!
Well, there it is,
you little bugger,
there it is.
What?
Your clitoris, it's deep down
in the bottom of your throat.
[crying]
The clitoris
hidden in the throat
was something
you could talk about
and laugh about.
It's better than having
no clitoris at all.
[sobbing]
That's easy
for you to say.
Suppose your balls
were in your ear.
(Bill Maher)
I was 19 when I saw it.
I don't think I had found
where the clitoris really was.
So I think the idea
that it was misplaced
on the human body
was lost on me.
I--I was looking for
the original site.
It was a giggle.
And the worst thing
to be said about us,
as Americans,
is that we'll sell
our souls for a giggle.
Listen, uh, we have
the problem solved.
All we have to do now
is find the solution.
[sobbing]
Like what?
Like deep throat.
Deep what?
Throat.
Have you ever taken
a penis all the way down
to the bottom
of your throat?
It was a badge of
the new freedom.
[projector whirring]
Have you been
to the experience
of paying to go
in a porno theater
[woman moaning]
and see a woman
give a blowj*b
in a movie theater
in your community?
That was very, very new.
Something that's hard
how liberating that was.
Or--or terrible, depending on
what you believe in.
It's a floodtide of
filth that's engulfed
the minds and
hearts and souls
of America like
nothing else ever has.
We have smut all over the face
of this country now
because we are letting
those immoral people
have their way
in our country.
Deep Throat succeeded
commercially at least in part
because the government
went after it.
The government became
the driving force
behind the public relations.
(old lady)
I just saw it and I liked it.
a dirty picture
and that's what I saw.
But I want the right
to see that picture.
I don't want somebody
telling me that I can't
see a dirty picture.
Deep Throat attacks
the very core of our being.
(Linda Lovelace)
Every time someone
watches that movie,
they're watching me
being raped.
Do I belong in jail
for five years
for acting in Deep Throat?
Deep Throat now
has had a phenomenal success
going on
for two-and-a-half years,
and it's only
because it's being hassled.
(female reporter)
Do you think
it's a good movie?
No, I don't think
it's a good movie.
I'm takin' a walk,
Mrs. Brown.
I am doing fine, dear,
thank you.
[birds chirping]
##[Brand New Key
by Melanie playing]
# I rode my bicycle
# I roller-skated
to your door at daylight #
# It almost seems
like you're avoiding me #
These are some pictures
or posters from some
of the films I've done.
# Well, I got a brand new pair
of roller-skates #
# You got a brand new key #
Aren't they kind of cute?
# I think that we should
get together #
A picture of Gerard, my son,
when he was a lot younger,
and my daughter
when she was younger.
# You got something for me #
(Dennis Hopper)
Long before Deep Throat,
Damiano was a family man.
He and his wife
ran a beauty salon
