Of all the quality adult films out there, why is this particular movie so popular? It's title is a household name, and undeservedly so. Artless, with poor sound (even for a porn flick), ugly cast, unappealing sex scenes that focus on genitalia closeups way too much to be taken as anything but exploitation, yet "Deep Throat" is the film that most represents the world of 1970's Adult film. Maybe it's the cool title, or some brilliant marketing techniques, but most people who seek this out are gonna be disappointed. I implore those people who become disillusioned with the 70's porn genre when watching this as their first expose into that world, to seek out films like "Sometime Sweet Susan," "The Story of Joanna," "Butterflies," "Lustful Feelings," "Wet Rainbow," "Dracula Sucks,"Sex Wish," "The Image" etc. all of these films are worlds better than "Deep Throat" on every level. I find "Deep Throat" to be depressing, and the jokes are corny, and juvenile. I'm usually a great fan of Harry Reems, but even he is not on his game here. And it's not as if the man can't do comedy; check out Reems in "Sherlick Holmes" to see him in top form. The worst thing about "Deep Throat," is that it makes sex look dirty and depressing...and a good adult film will never do that, because there is usually some artistic quality to go with the sex on screen, and also a good story. "Deep Throat" is about as sexy as dirty socks..and unless you have a foot fetish, that isn't praise..As a connoisseur of Classic Smut I can't recommend "Deep Throat," other than for curiosity purposes.
