Deep Throat is a 1972 American pornographic film that was at the forefront of the Golden Age of Porn. The film was written and directed by Gerard Damiano, who was listed in the credits as “Jerry Gerard”; produced by Louis Peraino, credited as “Lou Perry”; and starring Linda Lovelace, the pseudonym given to Linda Susan Boreman.
One of the first pornographic films to feature a plot, character development, and relatively high production values, Deep Throat earned mainstream attention and launched the “porno chic” trend, even though the film was banned in some jurisdictions and was the subject of obscenity trials.
