Inside Deep Throat Page #5

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.

[chuckling]

You can't do this.

It's absurd, it's silly.

Nobody will believe it.

I thought it was,

[stammering]

you know,

absurd. I did.

Believe it or not,

some people said,

"What is this, a medical film?

What are you gonna do?

With doctors?"

I said, "No. No."

Somebody said it should be

The Sword Swallower.

I said, "No, no. Deep Throat,

believe me, it'll work.

It'll work."

And, uh,

[chuckling]

I'm glad I didn't change it

to The Sword Swallower.

I, kind of,

had the whole thing

in--in my head driving over

the 59th Street Bridge.

That weekend,

I wrote the script

and we--we were ready

to do it.

And I spoke to

my production manager,

Ronnie Wertheim.

The phone rang.

It was Gerry. All excited.

And I told him to bring

all our cast and crew

down to Florida.

We're going to make the film.

(Wertheim)

I just called, uh,

Harry Reems.

He came as

a production assistant.

He wasn't even supposed

to be in the film.

(Reems)

When we got to Florida,

we all checked into

this, uh, motel,

I think it was called

The Voyager.

(Wertheim)

As we pulled in,

we saw Linda Lovelace

Iying on the lawn with her...

You know what her

pussycat's name was?

Adolf Hitler.

He had a mustache like that.

We came from New York

with the promise of

having locations.

(Camp)

To me, it was nothing.

I thought nothing of it.

I thought it was just

a--a piece of sh*t film.

Probably one of

the worst porno movies

ever made.

He's nuts.

Lenny Camp was nuts.

He was one of

the guys that were lining up

everything for us.

And, uh, we got nothing.

If it wasn't for us,

this guy would look like

a piece of sh*t,

which he really is.

The only thing that saved us,

I said, "Wait a minute,

"we're at The Voyager Motel,

let's go back and shoot

what we were supposed to do

here in the pool. "

From that moment on,

everybody was

location hunting.

One of the locations

that we shot at

down in Florida,

was at this, uh,

home in Coconut Grove

that was owned by a guy

who called himself a count.

He's not a count.

He's a horseshit count.

He is no count,

he's f***ing Sepy Dobronyi.

And God knows

if that's his real name.

When we came,

they had this elaborate,

elaborate, elaborate

wine cellar.

Should we go

to the wine cellar?

(interviewer)

Yes.

# Yeah, Oh, yeah,

Oh, yeah #

# Yeah, Oh, yeah,

Oh, yeah #

# Yeah, Oh, yeah,

Oh, yeah ##

[Sepy speaking]

If it was planned,

it would not have

been as exciting,

'cause we were just rushing

from one place to another.

(Helen)

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine,

what makes you say that?

You,

the way you're acting.

(Damiano)

In the very beginning,

there were no

porno actors and actresses.
