Inside Deep Throat Directors' Journal

WEDNESDAY MAY 21 2003

BOSTON - Interview legendary attorney Alan Dershowitz. When Harry was convicted in Memphis, Dershowitz helped him on his appeal. He said the funny thing was that when Harry came to meet him at Harvard Law school, he was the one dressed as a porn star, with long hair, jeans, and sneakers, while harry was the one who looked like a lawyer, with short hair and in a suit. Alan said that Harry would have made a fine lawyer.

In the afternoon we go to Quincy House, where, in the 80s, a screening of Deep T hroat provoked a schism first between the feminists and chauvinists of the faculty, and then between the police and the entire student body. It's so amazing how much the times have changed. Within the space of eight years, Deep Throat and porn in general went from being something chic to something politically incorrect.
