Inside Deep Throat (2005)

Directed by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato

Documentary

Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

A pretty thorough look at the culture surrounding DEEP THROAT, though it would’ve been nice to see more on the lives of the principals involved; it only lightly touches on them.
