:34:01
lt was the talk of the office,
you know, ''Look at this.''
:34:07
(Waters)
Being in the industry,
so to speak,
:34:09
we all ran out to see it,
:34:11
lt was stunning.
:34:15
The cinematography,
for a porno movie,
was very good,
:34:18
The movie was funny.
:34:19
lt had the kind of lines
in it, uh, that were amusing.
:34:23
Mind if l smoke
while you're eating?
:34:26
No, not at all.
:34:32
lt was definitely
a change of pace,
:34:34
definitely
a change of pace.
:34:38
we knew that this was, uh,
this was something different.
:34:41
Love, love is strange
:34:47
(Hefner)
I think they picked
on Deep Throat
:34:49
because it was
the highest profile,
:34:52
lf they could, uh,
successfully prosecute
Deep Throat,
:34:55
uh, then they felt that
:34:57
the other prosecutions
would be easier.
:35:02
(Hopper)
Not once, not twice,
but three times
:35:05
the police raided Deep Throat,
:35:07
staging their final raid
for the cameras,
:35:10
[people chattering]
:35:13
(Herb Kassner)
This was political,
:35:15
If nobody records the arrest,
:35:18
then nobody will know
:35:20
that they are doing their job
in fighting sin.
:35:24
Do you--you consider
what you're running
pornographic, sir?
:35:27
lf it was pornographic,
:35:29
they could prosecute
in a diligent, proper manner.
:35:31
They wouldn't have to
come around in hoards of 50
:35:35
and take signs
out of windows
:35:37
and act like
the Gestapo of old.
:35:41
This theater that had not done
$5,000 a week in 20 years,
:35:47
was running
virtually 20 hours a day.
:35:51
It never stopped running,
:35:53
The owners really couldn't
afford to shut it down.
:35:55
They didn't want
to shut it down.
:35:57
And so, uh, there--there was
going to be a trial.
