'Deep Throat' 50th Anniversary Commemorated With LA Screenings

LOS ANGELES — “Deep Throat” is commemorating its 50th anniversary with a West Coast tour launched by Christar and Gerard Damiano, Jr., the daughter and son of the film’s late director, Gerard Damiano.

Dr. Susan Block, a.k.a. Dr. Suzy, will be moderating the two Los Angeles screenings on June 2 and 3.

The West Coast tour will include screenings of the original 4K director’s cut restoration of the film, followed by a presentation and Q&A featuring the Damianos, as well as adult performers and local academic experts.

The presentation will focus on the history, cultural impact and various controversies surrounding the film, helping contextualize “Deep Throat” for younger generations, as well as those who remember when it first took 1970s America by storm.

Block said she first saw Deep Throat on a date in a big New Haven theater around 1977.

“Honestly, I was shocked,” the sexpert and author recalled. “I had never seen such large and well-lit genitalia! But soon enough, I relaxed and enjoyed it. By then, ‘Deep Throat’ had become a household name, having gone beyond the box office to impact freedom of speech and obscenity laws, as well as help bring about the resignation of disgraced U.S. President Richard M. Nixon — who, incidentally, tried to shut down the film. Whether they loved it or hated it, even if they never saw it, everybody knew — and still knows — 'Deep Throat.’”

The screenings will take place June 2 at the Laemmle Royal in West Los Angeles and June 3 at the 910WeHo in West Hollywood.
