:02:03
I was once out strolling
one very hot summer's day
:02:07
Oh, yeah, there was
a screening in some
psychoanalyst's apartment
:02:11
and everybody
watched and smoked dope.
Oh, yeah.
:02:14
I dreamed I was
in a Hollywood movie
:02:18
That I was the star
of the movie
:02:22
This really blew my mind
:02:24
(Dr, Westheimer)
I thought, ''Fantastic,
:02:26
''This is going to change
the climate
:02:29
''of talking about
issues of sexuality
:02:32
in these United States.''
:02:34
Spill the wine
and take that pearl
:02:39
(Dick Cavett)
I'm one of the handful
of people who never saw it,
:02:42
l didn't intend to not see it.
:02:44
[clattering]
:02:46
Perhaps you could
arrange for me to see it.
:02:49
Now.
:02:50

(Camille Paglia)
Deep Throat was
an epochal moment
:03:04
in the history
of modern sexuality.
:03:06
lt is the first time
that respectable
middle-class women
:03:09
went to porn theaters,
:03:13
It really broke down,
:03:15
uh, traditional codes
of--of decorum,
:03:20
(Hugh Hefner)
Linda Lovelace,
:03:22
and conversations,
and jokes about Deep Throat,
:03:25
appeared
on network television,
:03:26
lf the film
became mainstream,
:03:29
conversation about it
became truly mainstream.
:03:31
lt's kind of
a strange country, isn't it?
:03:33
Judges can see Deep Throat,
but they can't listen
to those tapes.
:03:36
[audience laughing]
:03:38
(Hefner)
I think the major thing
that set, uh,
:03:40
Deep Throat apart was,
:03:42
it had a gimmick.
:03:43
Ah! Ah--ah!
:03:45
well, there it is,
you little bugger,
there it is.
:03:48
what?
:03:50
Your clitoris, it's deep down
in the bottom of your throat.
:03:53
[crying]
:03:54
The clitoris
hidden in the throat
:03:56
was something
you could talk about
and laugh about.
:03:59
lt's better than having
no clitoris at all.
