This keen look at the most successful independent film ever made describes how the film's distribution and profits were taken over by the mob, and how its director and actors were affected be the social and political powers that sought to use it as a tool

| Original Score: B | May 16, 2009

As an exercise in nostalgia...Inside Deep Throat is amusing

| Feb 22, 2007

Funny and saddening.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2006

A sharp documentary that has comedy, tragedy and, yes, a glimpse of Linda Lovelace's party trick.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 7, 2006

Financed by the mafia, always there when you need them most.

[A] valuable document of a cultural shift.
