Directed by: Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato
Released: 2005
I watched this immediately after watching "Lovelace", mainly because I'd heard Linda's side, now I wanted to hear what everyone else had to say about the experience. And while this film is mostly about the constant censorship, lawsuits and other hurdles the filmmakers of "Deep Throat" had to face, they do all discuss Linda and her involvement. In a famous quote, Linda says "When you are watching "Deep Throat," you are watching me being raped." The cast and crew of "Deep Throat", when interviewed for this documentary, completely deny that (of course) -- but I also tend to believe them, at least a little. According to, well, everyone, Linda was a compulsive liar from the get-go. She also, apparently, quite enjoyed her time as a porn star, fame aside. But now I'm rambling on with my opinions. "Inside Deep Throat" is a really great documentary, especially if you haven't seen the original film (somehow, I haven't). It was highly amusing to see the original director now; he's a fumbling old man with his pants pulled up to his nipples. Hardly the sadistic scumbag he was painted as in the 70's. The arrest of Harry Reems is discussed at length, which is an interesting story on its own. Recommended for fans of the original film or newcomers like myself. 7/10.
