“In 1974, I Was Arrested By The FBI In My Home In New York City”

Harry Reems, the Olivier of oral and progenitor of the pornstache, did one day of work on the 1972 porn film Deep Throat which made him globally famous and a target of federal prosecutors looking for someone to punish for the film’s blockbuster status. The adult actor passed away last year, but here he is in 1976, before his descent into alcoholism and homelessness and rebirth as a devoutly religious realtor, discussing the FBI’s pursuit of him. I could be wrong, but that looks like John Candy on the panel.
