In 1972 I was a newsreel cameraman shooting 16mm film for a nameless TV station in Detroit and was doing consulting work for the xxxxx Police Dept. One night, the cops busted a porn theater and brought me the 35mm print of "Deep Throat" to transfer to video tape "for evidence". Ummmmm... I still have a direct high quality 3/4" video tape of that transfer!!! I was the ONLY one in the city at that time to have a copy of that film for my private showings! It was cool!!!Now, I also have a super great quality 35mm print. I mean, you never know when it might be required viewing for medicinal purposes....  What I find *really* interesting and ironic in all these years is Linda's rhetoric and her "conversion". I mean, I will NEVER, *EVER* forget the look, or the smile, on her face when she was suc*ing c*ck and appeared to very much to enjoy it! None of the porno films since can come close to that look! That's why I've always felt she was scamming about the producer and the film. She REALLY did enjoy it!!!!!! I do feel sad that she has passed away. I feel that she, Harry Reems, the director Gerard Damiano, and the film itself broke down the 8mm porn film "smokers" stereotype barriers and was the 1st "art" porno film to go mainstream with a storyline and some type of production values. It will always be a classic. So Bob Maar my friend, what do you think?  >>> Phil

When Deep Throat the first run was in a porno theatre on west 49th St in New York. All of our New York Theatres were first run with commercial product. However we did have several theatres in outher cities that ran Porno films. Boston the State Theatre on Washington Street, known as the Combat Zone,Washington D.C. the Plaza Theatre on 14th Street and Baltimore at The Little Theatre. Well the picture ran successfully for many months.After it had completed it's first run in New York where it ran for about 14 months we booked the picture (as an experiment) into our Art Theatre on the corner of Madison Avenue and 85th Street in Manhattan.
This theatre catered to the Rich and famous. Jackie Kennedy lived one block away on Fifth Avenue, Gracie Mansion the Mayor's house was directly down 85th Street on East End Avenue. We had many customers whose names are are recognizable.
Well, Opening Day the pickets arrived with tons of coverage by the press and all television networks. People were arriving in Limousines,
to see the picture. So we had lines around the block to see the movie and we had picket lines marching up and down in front of the entrance asking for the theatre to be shut down. We ended up playing the film successfully for six weeks. As an interesting personal highlight fom playing Deep Throat at this theatre. I was interviewed by the New York Times and received a letter at my office from another Robert Maar who lived in Connecticut.He was a cousin of my father who he had never met. I went to meet him with my wife and son. He was married but had no children and when he died in the late seventies he left his estate to me.
