Isn't It Luverly?
As threatened, Deep Throat is set to open in the UK in conjunction with Inside Deep Throat, the doc about it. It will be the first time the porn film will have been screened in legitimate British cinemas, beginning at the Everyman in Hampstead on June 10 and 11, and then moving to more UK screens after that. According to The Sun, admission requirements will stop just short of asking for a passport.
Deep Throat is only the second film shown in Britain to be rated R18 because of its content – until now it has only been seen in sex cinemas. In addition to the top rating there is a special procedure to purchase tickets – people have to provide proof of age and address at the cinema 24 hours before the screening.
