that these films do not have
a deleterious effect
on the human being.

1:02:05
l'm sitting here right now
1:02:07
trying to draw some images up
from Deep Throat,

1:02:09
To be honest about it, uh,
1:02:12
do l feel that l'm worse off
because of it?

1:02:15
Yes, l do.
1:02:17
Uh, l can't get images
out of my mind

1:02:20
that l have seen.
1:02:26
l have told people
l'm not a eunuch.

1:02:28
l-l'm a regular
red-blooded American male.

1:02:34
And, uh,
1:02:35
and those images
l wish were not there.

1:02:40
(Kramer)
We had a lot of eye contact
with the jury,

1:02:42
I think the jury
was very sympathetic
to Harry,

1:02:46
And there was
a palpable change

1:02:49
in the jury's reaction
1:02:52
to Harry
after seeing him in the film.

1:02:55
(Parrish)
That was one of the amusing
times in the trial,

1:02:58
He sat over in a, uh,
1:03:00
in a corner by himself,
sort of hoverin'

1:03:03
and wouldn't look at
the jurors,

1:03:05
and they were all
staring at him.

1:03:10
[sighs]
1:03:11
l felt as though
my life was being
taken away from me.

1:03:14
And that l was
being depicted, characterized

1:03:18
as something evil,
a demon.

1:03:27
(Hopper)
After a two-month trial,

1:03:29
the jury took just five hours
1:03:31
to return
a unanimously guilty verdict,

1:03:34
(Roy Cohn)
The substance of what you say,

1:03:36
in effect,
is you were the little man
who wasn't there.

1:03:39
But the fact
of the matter is,

1:03:40
you deliberately
and knowingly

1:03:43
committed a long series
1:03:44
of immoral, revolting,
obscene acts.

1:03:47
You might have found it
obscene, and immoral,

1:03:49
and distasteful,
and disgusting.

1:03:51
Others don't.
1:03:52
The acts you performed on film
are acts that would be crimes

1:03:55
if they were performed
on the street
or someplace else.

1:03:58
No. They are wonderful
celebrations of life.
