| | Inside Deep Throat (2005) |
 | | Then, in 1972, a little blue movie called Deep Throat came out, and while urban and middle America alike lined up around the block to see it, the powers that be moved in to shut the movie and the revolution down. |
 | | Distributors and theater owners were charged with a variety of state, local, and federal offenses in a bid to shut down the movie, and in 1976, Lovelace's co-star Harry Reems (who earned the princely sum of $250 for his role) was convicted in federal court of conspiracy to transport obscene material across state lines. |
 | | For this venture, they've gone back to the historical record with clips from the movie, coverage of the crowds that swarmed theaters to see it, and excerpts from the court cases; there's even an excerpt from The Tonight Show, with the late Johnny Carson cracking wise about the controversy. |
