What Can Brown Do for You?

In yesterday's Washington Post, the venerable Tina Brown waxed on the screening of and distinguished-panel discussion after Inside Deep Throat at its premiere at the Paris Theatre in New York.

"Inside Deep Throat" appears headed for success, too, albeit on a smaller scale and with HBO substituting for the mob. The current FCC fatwa against any kind of network naughtiness adds the touch of lefty moralism needed to give the new documentary a chic marketing angle. Plus there's a good red-state redemption story: Harry Reems, whose "Deep Throat" fame sputtered out in a booze- and drug-addled stupor that left him panhandling on Sunset Strip, is now a born-again Christian selling real estate in Park City, Utah. He was in attendance at Monday's screening. His acting skills were always wooden and his hair is nearly white, but he looked craggy and spry.
