A really great documentary about one of the most famous porn movies in history. Not so much about the movie itself so much as world it came from and ultimately brought with it. Very well done with some classy Dennis Hopper narration. Lots of great interviews and archival footage... ...( read more )
Good documentary in that you learn alot, especially since I wasnt around at the time to see the stir this movie caused, but overall nothing really that great.
For a documentary about the movie that kicked off the modern porn trade there's not enough porn and too many annoying Americans!
A great documentary about the film and the effect it had on the cast and crew after it becomes a cultural touchstone. It's hard to believe that porn was so main stream that major celebrities were seeing this and that the films were playing in more upscale theaters.
Pues que decir que el porno es toda una industria ahahah y que ahora me entraron ganas de ver la peli lol, intenta abordar el tema desde muchos ángulos pero profundiza muy poco en ellos.
Wooow! This is really a documentary that made me jump of anger! When you tell artists - bad artists or good artists - that they can not experiment in certain avenues you are taking away the basic freedoms of every American! actor Harry Reems said in an interview dur... ...( read more )

A very interesting documentary. This was an eye opener for me,i really had no idea all this went on in the early 70s.The documentary wisely chooses not to concentrate too deeply on Linda Lovelace's clams of being forced into making the movie,but on the cultural impact of the film... ...( read more )
A great look back from 72 onward on what started to porn industry, the social & political uproar and those involved. It's amazing how much a blow job created so much trouble.
A documentary about the 70s "porn chic" film, wich show us the good side and bad side of those times and the contrast with nowadays porn films.
An interesting look at the 70s porno hit 'Deep Throat' that also takes a look at the social climate surrounding the film leading to both its success and condemnation.

I'm going to be honest, the 'documentary' genre is my least favorite movie genre. To me, most documentaries are like watching grass grow, they are long, tiring and most of all... ...( read more )
well done doc about the film and it's impact creating the genre-as-industry, the legal ramifications, the stars and the underworld that exploited it all.
Believe it or not, this documentary is worth watching. It tells the downside of porn. Did you know that Harry Reems is the only actor to be sued by the government for playing a role? I didn't. It was very interesting, plus you get to see PORN!!!! Sorry, had to be said. PORN!!! Ok... ...( read more )
9-10-07 --A documentary on the biggest selling and most controversial porn ever made. Don't expect to get a lot of "action". This is a documentary. It cost 25k to make the original porn masterpiece but it made around 600 million dollars. Wow! Linda Lovelace died pennyless an... ...( read more )
Excellent documentary that shows America opening up, then closing down to sexuality. Well made in terms of direction, editing and selection of interviewees. Whereas America looked like we would finally open up, now we are nothing but repressed, closed off, and needing war to act ... ...( read more )
One of the most fascinating documentary's I've ever seen... not because of the porn, but rather the issue of censorship which is something i've very interested in. Check it out, if the porn thing bothers you try the "R-Rated" version.
Just brilliant! Very interesting political piece about changing america. I lived this, but did not know a lot about what was happening behind the scenes. It makes you want to go out and choke a "christian". From this, it seems that Nixon gave the moral majority life. We have been... ...( read more )
Interesting documentary about the social impact of the release of the legendary bongo flick on the American public at the time, the political influences at work to stop the film being shown and the effects (for better and worse) on the actors and film-makers. Good on the whole bu... ...( read more )
It was a great stag flick, no just playing it's a great documentary of one of the most successful movies in the Adult industry to date. The background of the movie is very interesting and really gives you a taste of the social politics of that day. In the 70's they were more ope... ...( read more )
This is a facinating and entretaining documentry on perhaps "the" most famous adult film of all time, "Deep Throat". While I have always known of the film 9I haven't seen it myself) but I never knew of the controversy that surrounded its release and the battles that it fought the... ...( read more )
Whether you like it or not, "Deep Throat" changed adult movies, and the public's relations to them in a social aspect, forever.
This was kind of a instering story on the movie Deep Throat. I might not ever watch it again, but it was good to at least see once.
What started out well could have ended so much better...with all the research material out there about the original you'd expect more....my advice....go watch deep throat
An interesting and entertaining documentary. It still boggles my mind there are so many people with such closed minded thinking and irrational decison making running this country. I'm always shocked when people strike out against something that is OPTIONAL to watch. The power is ... ...( read more )
