The Zeitgeist of 1972, \u201cDeep Throat\u201d brought adult films into the mainstream and kick-started the Sexual Revolution. Its success was unprecedented, breaking box office records in its very first week of exhibition. Lauded as one of the first hardcore films to feature a plot, character development, and production values, it pushed the limits of what could be shown on screen and made an international celebrity of its star, Linda Lovelace. Busted by police, picketed, and banned, the ongoing prosecution only added to the film\u2019s popularity. It would help to create the Adult Film Industry and an audience hungry for feature length films with adult content. Celebrities, dignitaries, couples and women joined the usual \u201craincoat crowd,\u201d waiting in lines that wrapped around the block just to see it. The immense popularity of \u201cDeep Throat\u201d made it a symbol of the new sexual freedom and therefore a target. President Richard Nixon attacked the film in an effort to draw attention away from his own wrongdoing. \u201cCitizens for Decent Literature,\u201d used their crusade against pornography to galvanize the burgeoning \u201cConservative Christian\u201d movement. Joining forces with the Republican Party, they made their cause not just a \u201cmoral\u201d one, but a political one as well.<\/p>\n
The newly organized \u201cAnti-Porn Feminists\u201d also staged protests and sought to ban the film. For a time, even Linda Lovelace joined their cause, making comments on the talk show circuit, which cast a shadow over the production. It would be years before she rejected the feminists, claiming that they had used her and returned to porn, posing for Leg Show magazine, before her untimely death in 2002. The Federal Government went after male lead Harry Reems. Fearing they could be next, A\u2013list Hollywood stars formed the \u201cHarry Reems Defense Fund,\u201d a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre. He was eventually acquitted of all crimes, but the persecution took a tremendous toll on him. Legal battles were fought all the way to the Supreme Court. Finally, it was not the film itself, but the very definition of \u201cobscenity\u201d that was on trial. \u201cDeep Throat\u201d became emblematic of the Free Speech Movement and all the while its popularity grew.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s title was used to conceal the identity of informant W. Mark Felt who helped Woodward and Bernstein to break the Watergate story. When the President was finally brought to justice, Damiano quipped \u201cNixon tried to take down \u2018Deep Throat\u2019, but in the end it was \u2018Deep Throat\u2019 who took down Nixon.\u201d A half century later the film enjoys a cult status, having found its way into every aspect of popular culture. Referenced in countless films, documentaries, and TV shows, it has inspired songs, plays, and musicals. The term \u201cDeep Throat\u201d became a household word and can be found in Webster\u2019s dictionary. \u201cDeep Throat\u201d is still considered to be the most profitable film of all time.<\/p>\n
About Gerard Jr and Christar Damiano<\/p>\n
Visual Artist and Filmmaker Gerard Damiano Jr. and Sound Healer & Performance Artist Christar Damiano are the only children of director Gerard Damiano Sr. They grew up in Queens, New York, in a house that always seemed to have film in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
They were raised to believe that the human body was \u201ca thing of beauty\u201d and never something to be ashamed of. They often accompanied their father to the film set (although they were never exposed to hardcore sex), and were on location in Miami with their family during the filming of \u201cDeep Throat\u201d. Reacting to their father\u2019s arrest and subsequent prosecution, their mother reassured them that \u201cPeople don\u2019t understand him because he\u2019s ahead of his time.\u201d Gerard and Christar believe that their father\u2019s time has finally come. They have dedicated themselves to preserving his legacy and continuing his fight for Freedom of Expression without censorship through their company Damiano Films.<\/p>\n
