  Deep Throat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep Throat is the pseudonym that was given to a secret source who leaked information about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon's administration in the Watergate first break-in and subsequent events that came to be known as the Watergate scandal.
The identity of "Deep Throat" was one of the biggest mysteries of American politics and journalism in recent times, and for more than 30 years, the source of much public curiosity.
As Deep Throat is seen by many as a good guy, he lets the grandkids know the secret ID of the hero.

 Deep Throat (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep Throat is an American pornographic movie released in the summer of 1972, written and directed by Gerard Damiano and starring Linda Lovelace (the pseudonym of Linda Susan Boreman).
The doctor notices that Linda's clitoris is located in her throat; she then goes on to work as a therapist for the doctor and performs a particular technique of oral sex—thereafter known as "deep throat"—on various men, until she finds the one to marry.
Deep Throat II (1987) as well as the subsequent movies have different actors and director and, despite the title, are hardly sequels to Deep Throat.

Deep Throat was a very, very important landmark of that aspect, now you can see porn, and go, oh what the heck.

 Inside Deep Throat
According to an amusing Lenny Camp, everything about the film was "shit." Gerard Damiano was looking to make a porn film when he stumbled upon Linda Lovelace (real name Linda Boreman), who had the ability to take a certain part of the male anatomy down her throat.
After the film started raking in cash, Damiano's partners "bought him out." Damiano and others are still reluctant to talk about what they know, and the filmmakers really drop the ball in terms of trying to shed light on this aspect of the film.
Deep Throat simply came out at the right time, and as a result has a part in the cultural history of America.

 'Inside Deep Throat' examines film's cultural legacy | The San Diego Union-Tribune

Neither Regan nor Dershowitz, it turned out, had ever seen "Deep Throat." Dershowitz, who defended the movie's male star, Harry Reems, in a prosecution for obscenity, said he had not needed to see the film to know that an important First Amendment issue was at stake.
Co-star Reems, the film's lighting director who stepped in after the original male lead did not work out, played a doctor helping a patient played by Lovelace cope with an unusual "condition" – a sexually sensitive area at the back of her throat.

Deep Throat was hailed by feminists as the first film that portrays a woman, rather than a man, seeking sexual satisfaction.
Although given the premise of the film is a woman with a clitoris in the back of her throat, I seriously think claiming it's a feminist manifesto is a bit of a stretch.

Deep Throat premiered in 1972, in an era of sexual awakening on film, where highlighting and building a film around that one sexual act is a novelty, bringing in an enormous Return On Investment (600 million revenue from a cost of 25K) for the filmmakers, who somehow never got rich from it, monetary and otherwise.
Inside Deep Throat brings us back to that era, exploring what was, and how this one film revolutionized the adult film industry in the USA.

Given that Deep Throat is the most famous porn movie of all time, there are plenty of intriguing angles to explore about its impact on popular culture.
The opposite of Deep Throat itself, the documentary is too polished, narrated by Dennis Hopper (if there is an overused image from the '60s, it's Hopper and Peter Fonda on motorcycles in Easy Rider) and overflowing with witticisms from Dick Cavett and John Waters (though Waters does fire off a funny crack about Angela Lansbury).
The film is all commentary and very little journalism, though the filmmakers do establish the movie's ties to the mobsters who distributed it.

Deep Throat probably did not make fellatio "acceptable" in American society (it was wholly accepted by some, including ex-presidents, well before that); nor is it the reason that the American porn industry has become bigger than Hollywood.
The irony of Deep Throat being labelled an obscenity by the likes of red-baiter Roy Cohn, Richard Nixon and morals campaigner Charles Keating (later a convicted swindler) is indeed rich.
The fact that Nixon was brought down by a different Deep Throat has a satisfying balance to it.
