Inside Deep Throat

Directed by Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato

DEEP THROAT was the film that brought hardcore porn into the U.S. mainstream in 1972, creating a cultural phenomenon. Made in 6 days for $25,000 and earning over $600 million, it remains the most profitable film of all time. PARTY MONSTER directors Bailey & Barbato entertainingly document its making and the palpitating effect it had on America of the 70s. The story of a woman with unusual sexual anatomy who seeks orgasm through (copious) oral sex, it featured on chat shows, in broadsheets, in feminist discussions, and provoked a moral panic that led to police crackdowns, obscenity trials and bans in numerous states.
