Waikikix Deepthroat was an X-rated film released in 1975 directed by Gerard Damiano starring Linda Lovelace as an abused woman forced into taking part in a gang bang. Her attempts at escape are met with Chuck (Michael Borstein), who uses his arms to choke her out before forcing her shower with freezing cold water before locking her away for weeks in their basement home. The director was Gerard Damiano.
Deep Throat was inspired by real-life government informant Mark Felt. During the 1972 Watergate scandal, Felt provided vital information to Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein; their investigative journalism ultimately resulted in President Nixon stepping down and convictions of numerous White House officials such as Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman, Vice President Spiro Agnew, Finance Counsel G. Gordon Liddy, and White House counsel Charles Colson.
According to the authors of All the President’s Men, Felt communicated with Woodward by leaving special marks on page 20 of Woodward’s newspaper and circled pages or drawing clock hands indicating his preferred meeting time; they usually met on Rosslyn, Virginia at 2 am for this meeting.
In 2005, 31 years after Nixon had left office and 11 years after his death, a family attorney claimed that former Federal Bureau of Investigation Associate Director Mark Felt was indeed Deep Throat; although this claim had previously been disproved by Felt (who suffered from dementia), this claim was later confirmed by Woodward and Bernstein.
