Description

Deep Throat - Linda Lovelace stars in the original 1972 classic x rated adult movie. Deep Throat was a watershed event in American cinema reaching a general audience unlike any other adult movie since. It was one of the first adult films to include a plot, character development and Hollywood-type production standards including a soundtrack album released that same year. The term "Deep Throat" became a cultural buzzword as the movie inspired the nickname of a government informant during the Watergate political scandal that brought down then president Nixon.



The movie was banned in many countries and spurred a number of obscenity prosecutions across the United States. Recent documents released by the government indicated a serious campaign by high ranking FBI officials to stop any screenings of the film. Lead actor Harry Reems was eventually indicted for his role in the movie, the first time an actor was ever tried for obscenity by the government. (Linda Lovelace and director Gerard Damiano were granted immunity for their testimony.)



Deep Throat was released to rave reviews and premiered at The World Theater in New York City on June 12, 1972.
