Black Deep Throat
Dir Guido Zurli / 1976 / Italy
A 'pre-censor cut version' running 2342.59mtr (85m 37s) was rated R in May 1979. This version went on to have a theatrical release in Australia.
1981 saw an 86m videotape twice Refused Registration. First was L&M
Imports in August, followed by Meridien Electronics in November. The ban
was due to some of the sex scenes, which were described as:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
Around the same time, King of Video released the film to video. This print runs 82m 20s and has definitely had some of the sex scenes edited. The running time would seem to indicate that it is the same as the 'pre-censor cut version' passed in May 1979. Note that despite the title seemingly promising it, the film was never shot as hardcore.
