Lovelace - 2013 - 7/10

[size=1]- when harry met linda -[/size]
Fairly absorbing drama on star of Deep Throat, focusing on her nubile early years and stardom peak.
Ugly, but not as vile as it could have been. A surprisingly strong cast throughout.
Very much in the Boogie Nights vein, but definitely lighter.
I saw the original Deep Throat back in the 70s at Hollywood Blvd's Pussycat Theater.
Part of a double bill with The Devil In Miss Jones. Theater was terribly plush, and never fully dark. Ushers prowled ceaselessly.
Aisles were packed with couples - porn was in its heyday. The era when free love hippies gave way to disco clubrats.
Lovelace caught a lot of that vibe. From the weed to the polyester wide lapels. A fun film, perhaps because I had good memories.
