Midnight Snack

The same month as the Watergate break-in, a film opened that changed America. DEEP THROAT, a porno quickie which some found "numbly, grindingly, trouser-saggingly dull", became a national sensation, the most profitable independent film in history, and ushered in "porno-chic" and a resultant feminist backlash. Documentary filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE) tell the bizarre story of how this grind-house blue movie financed with mob money eventually ignited a culture war. Dennis Hopper narrates.
