The Sun Shines on Deep Throat Inside Arena

Story in The Sun on Deep Throat's opening in the UK. The tabloid quaintly identifies Inside Deep Throat narrator Dennis Hopper by his apparent wizard name, Dennis Potter. And we thought The Sun was scrupulously fact-checked.

Inside Deep Throat, narrated by Dennis Potter, is an insight into the legacy of the outrageous movie that sent shockwaves through 1970s American society when first released.

Also, our Fenton Bailey has written an article on the "pornolization of the mainstream" for the July issue of Arena magazine.

In that same issue, Arena gives Inside Deep Throat three stars, using such words as "beautifully," "great," and "intelligent."

And the June 1 issue of London's TimeOut reviews Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst and Inside Deep Throat, "two new documentaries that take stock of 1970s America."
