Leyden Senior Member The people have spoken. I'm a nitpicking dick. Woo! 8757 Posts 1/04	Posted - Jul 8 2022 : 11:17PM A revolutionary movie or an 'artifact of abuse'? The landmark porn film 'Deep Throat' turns 50 When it comes to a timeline of sex in movies, there's before Deep Throat and after Deep Throat. Released 50 years ago in the summer of 1972, the barely hour-long film - directed by Gerard Damiano and starring then-unknown leads Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems - brought hardcore pornography out of the Times Square XXX houses and into the mainstream.

Deep Throat lives on as Exhibit A of their pipe dream. If you watch it & compare it to other porn films of the era, it's a bit more amusing & really not particularly good.

Crowded porn theatres were not a pleasant experience. [Link]
