When “Deep Throat” hit movie theaters in the summer of 1972, Screw Magazine’s Al Goldstein gave it a glowing review, 23 states banned it, and it went on to become the highest-grossing adult movie of its time.
Arrow Productions and High Def Home Entertainment (HDHE) have teamed up to re-release the 1972 adult classic “Deep Throat,” this time on a high-definition DVD.
In what Arrow Productions’ Head of Production Paul Interlandi is calling a total fluke, the original negatives for the timeless porn classic “Deep Throat” were accidentally discovered this week in a forgotten film canister kept in storage for more than 35 years.
In a first of its kind, the restored version of “Deep Throat” and the documentary “Days of Deep Throat and Linda Lovelace” have been handpicked to screen at the Rio De Janeiro International Film Festival in September.
Imagine Entertainment’s “Inside Deep Throat” ships on DVD in both R and NC-17 versions later this summer. “Deep Throat” was the first sexually explicit film to cross over to mainstream audiences and helped launch a sexual revolution as well as igniting a conservative moral backlash.
In 1972, an absurd hardcore comedy about a woman with a remarkable ability to suppress her gag reflex set off a nationwide cultural phenomenon. Now "Inside Deep Throat," a documentary about the most infamous and lucrative X-rated film of all time, opens in major cities.
