The FBI worked desperately to block the landmark 1972 porn film Deep Throat in a vain attempt to curb the spread of permissive thinking in the US, according to newly-released files.
Agents from Honolulu to Miami seized copies of the film, arranged for negatives to be analysed in laboratories and interviewed actors, producers and even messengers who ferried reels to cinemas.
The huge success of Deep Throat, which disputed sources say may have made up to $600m (£364m) for its mob backers, is seen by many as a defining moment in the cultural and sexual revolution, though others label it a cheap and nasty exercise in exploitation.
