In response,
1:05:07
Hollywood was quick
to mobilize and defend
Harry Reems,
1:05:11
positioning itself as
an opposing cultural force,

Professionals in the arts
1:05:17
may not find Deep Throat,
as such,
1:05:20
a piece of art
worth defending,
1:05:22
But they are worried about
1:05:24
the threat of
being arrested later on
1:05:26
for what
they write or act in today,
1:05:28
It's a censorship issue,
1:05:30
My overall concern
is the basic, uh, infringement
1:05:34
on the rights
of the First Amendment,
1:05:36
That's probably why
l came to his defense,
1:05:38
knowing that
Beatty and Nicholson did.
1:05:43
That's how
l make all my decisions.
1:05:47
l said,
''Alan, am--am--am l
gonna be convicted?
1:05:50
''Am l going to do
prison time?''
1:05:51
And his response was:
1:05:56
''lf the Republicans
are reelected,
1:05:57
you're going to jail.
1:06:00
lf the Democrats are elected,
you're going to be set free.''

While Harry fought for
his freedom,
1:06:09
the architect of
the moral crusade
in the first place
1:06:12
was no longer in office
to savor his triumph,
1:06:15
I shall resign the Presidency
effective at noon tomorrow,
1:06:19

And his undoing
had also been Deep Throat,
1:06:25
the nickname for
the secret Watergate source,
1:06:28
(Bernstein)
There's an expression
in journalism
1:06:31
called ''deep background''
which means that
1:06:33
the information cannot be used
in the newspaper
1:06:36
with any kind of
hint of attribution,
1:06:40
Deep Throat, deep background.
You know, it's sort of a...
1:06:43
But if you want to know
how I really feel
1:06:45
(Hopper)
Its national nightmare over,
the nation got down,
1:06:50
Get the action goin'
1:06:54
How do you like it?
How do you like it?

The time was right
for a porno star
to be a pop star.
