(reporter)
Are you looking forward
to this movie?
:39:03
Yes, l am.
:39:04
People from Central Park west
and Fifth Avenue
and Park Avenue
:39:08
wanted to go down and see it
and go slumming.
:39:11
(Xaviera Hollander)
There was a private showing,
Before I knew what happened,
:39:15
there was, like,
group sex happening,
left, right, and center.
:39:23
(patron)
Since this is supposed to be
it of its genre,
:39:26
and since it's had this piece
in the New York Times,
:39:29
l might as well see it
if it's going.
:39:33
(reporter)
what are you expecting to see?
:39:35
well, uh,
:39:36
you might close me down if l
said what l was going to say.
:39:40
lt took porn out of the realm
of the forbidden.
:39:44
why, there's nothing wrong
with a normal man
:39:47
going to
a pornographic movie.
:39:48
Normal, all right,
but why were you there?
:39:51
You would see
movie stars there.
:39:52
You would see
society people there,
:39:57
l went to see Deep Throat
because l'm fond
of animal pictures.
:40:00
[audience laughing]
:40:02
l thought it was
about giraffes.
:40:07
90 percent
of the people there
are asthmatics.
:40:10
what do you mean,
asthmatics?
:40:11
'Cause all l could hear
was...
:40:13
[panting]
:40:14
[audience laughing]
:40:15
People weren't jerking off
:40:17
when, you know, l don't know
who's sitting next
to Angela Lansbury.
:40:20
Oh, l'm just picking her out,
but--but basically,
:40:23
because she'd just
put a damper on things.
:40:25
what did you say the name of
that movie was?
:40:27
Uh, Deep Threat,
:40:28
You'd better hurry up
before you miss the opening
:40:30
'cause you don't
wanna miss the opening.
:40:32
ln the opening, Linda...
:40:35
[screaming]
:40:36
[audience laughing]
:40:39
(Hopper)
Deep Throat was so successful
:40:41
that it turned Linda Lovelace
from an unknown
:40:43
into a celebrity
and poster-child
for the new porn chic,
:40:51
l made $1,200
for Deep Throat,
:40:54
(reporter)
And that's all?
:40:55
[chuckling]
Yeah.
:40:56
what about...
:40:58
l'm, you know, now l'm known,
so it's okay.
