First Love Is the Deepest
The people of Coconut Grove, Florida, are proud to claim that some of the scenes in the X-rated movie Deep Throat were filmed at the home of local Hungarian-born sculptor Sepy Dobronyi, reports nbc6.net. The jungle that Linda Lovelace walks through in the movie belongs to Dobronyi, and Dobronyi confesses that the wine cellar where Lovelace has a tabletop encounter has some "dainties" tucked into the shelves to protect the wine bottles (see pic). The living room served as "Doctor" Harry Reems' examining room.
Of course, Frank Sinatra would later shoot some mainstream films there, yawn, but nothing seems to thrill the locals more than remembering that Deep Throat was their first.
For a movie that excited so much controversy and so many libidos, Dobronyi said the filming itself was often boring to watch. "It was very tiresome."
Dobronyi said the crew was a happy one, even Lovelace, who later complained that she had been forced to perform in porn. "It's not true -- she was very happy, running around naked," Dobronyi said.
