INSIDE DEEP THROAT-2005-Dennis Hopper narrates this documentary about the making of one of the most well known, infamous and successful porno movies of all time. It has interviews with director Gerald Damiano (who died in 2008), male star Harry Reems (who died in 2013), production manager Ron Wertheim and other luminaries such as Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Larry Flynt, Dr. Ruth, Dick Cavett, Hugh Hefner, Erica Jong and John Walters. It makes a good point in showing that when the (Nixon) government singled it out for censorship the movie became "porn-chic" and did even bigger business. Prosecuting attorney Larry Parrish seems as nuts today as he was when he tried Reems for conspiracy. Also they talk about mob involvement using theaters running the movie for money laundering. One guy is even yelled at my his wife during his interview. Much found footage with Lovelace is shown (as well as other people) and it's very good after the "celebs" stop talking. They have interesting opinions I guess but sometimes it seems all the old people are just trying to justify the fact that they like porno. It also covers the decline of "porno film making" and Lovelace's later life.
Thanks for reading!
