An action-packed slog

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Yes. As titillating and naughty as the subject of "hard-core" porn may be - I found "Inside Deep Throat" to be a decidedly "soft-core" documentary, on all counts.Instead of being all wet'n'juicy - This was a very dry and sanitized presentation. And, all that it did was lifelessly chronicle "Deep Throat" from its production, to its popularity, to its cult-status, to its inevitable battle with the self-righteous censors.You know, I've actually seen 1972's "Deep Throat" some years ago - And, if you ask me - It was, pretty much, just tiresome, z-grade garbage that didn't deserve (even one iota) all the attention that it got (and still gets).The only reason why this laughable film (about a woman whose clitoris was in her throat) has garnered so much undo attention for itself all comes down to the negative publicity that it's generated.You can be sure - Without all of this negative backlash, "Deep Throat" would have remained just another piffle-of-porn that would have quickly faded away into obscurity faster than an average ejaculation.Anyway - I don't completely write off this documentary as being a waste of time. It does contain some worthwhile moments. But, if you're expecting "Inside Deep Throat" to be a real hard-core production, then you are in for a big disappointment - 'Cause it's, pretty much, 90% talk-talk-talk, and, perhaps, 10% action.

Out of all the X-rated films that could have taken on such a place in the history of the world, it's ridiculous that "Deep Throat" is the one to rise up as the title synonymous with boundary pushing in society. It isn't good by almost any standards! Getting that off my chest, I was pleasantly shocked by how rich in all ways "Inside Deep Throat" is. This cannonball of a nonfiction movie should be watched by some of those teen girls who think that porn is the place for them. I'm not a prude, just a concerned adult who thinks the legal age for performing in porn should be 21 and not merely 18. The lives that would be saved, for lack of a better term, make this a sensible modifying of the laws regarding adult entertainment. (William Margold, who's spent many years writing, producing and performing in the world of X said virtually the same thing a while back.)The lives of the late Chuck, Linda, Gerard and still alive Harry are like four bumper cars that all crashed together in a curious stroke of fate and the fallout is still being felt today. The overwhelming reason is money. Chuck abused and pimped Linda, Harry had his freedom threatened for receiving a pittance to star in the film and Gerard almost had his life ended for being in the way of mob thugs that realized giving him a tiny piece of "Deep Throat" profits would cost them millions.And what millions there were! No one will know the true total, due to such unbridled greed that led to skimming, threats and people disappearing forever. Not until "The Blair Witch Project" came along had another entity in film been such a money tree. The latter became popular from a silly internet based hype, "Deep Throat" because certain officials wouldn't just let it pass with a natural cinematic demise. Some people, such as Joseph McCarthy's right hand man, Roy Cohn, were worse criminals in the damage they caused to society, but felt a need to grandstand against the hippie era and this film was the bastard child of the love generation. Seeing Harry Reems debate Cohn on TV is one of the great moments in this exploration into the human need to feel superior. Superior to maybe just their own image in society's funhouse mirrors of public versus private lives.

Is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, it isn't a porn movie. But it revolves around one, you see the prudes that America once was, and still is. We see the evolution porn made and the loses it made in the way, how the politics failed to close porn down.And how they again dismiss evidence in a case that is not good for there cause. We see the actual uprising of porn movies here, and see how it affects peoples lives. You can see how the mob does have a hand in everything in the porn business those days, how they dealth with people who don't listen. If you don't see this movie you will have misted up a really great thing.

The documentary "Inside deep throat" analyzes the facts involving the premiere and the distribution of the most famous porn movie ever and gives us each and every detail about the big controversy that generated. We can hear opinions from the protagonists and from those that fought against the screening of the movie.Everything in "Inside deep throat" is so dynamic and direct, they made a huge work of editing, and because of all that it's a pretty entertaining documentary and so educational. Otherwise, this is a magnificent radiography of that disgusting double standards in the more puritan sections of the USA.*My rate: 8/10
