Cult 70s Porno Director 18: Gerard Damiano

With Deep Throat as only his fifth film, Gerard Damiano spent the majority of his career in the shadow of the most well known adult film of all time. The marketing power of the Deep Throat name would attach it to every product he helmed, and yet only it's follow-up, The Devil in Miss Jones, was able to make itself another pop culture footnote. These two extremes, the corny slapstick of Throat and the disturbing bleakness of Jones, showed off his effective work at both ends of the spectrum. The films that followed continued to offer new directions for his work, and many are remembered by at least the hardcore cult film fan and porn hound. Meatball: 1974. 68min. Dr. Schmock (Harry Reems) sprinkles his new chemical compound Preparation X, on a hamburger he's cooking in his lab and it grows so big it pops out of the pan. When he eats it, it affects his putz, which begins to pounce around in his pants! A wild and wacky sex flick! Evil Ways of Love: 1973. 52min. Andy, a woman-hater, entices sexy women aboard his houseboat. His pot smoking friends come over and they party and make some serious sex waves! An early Damiano Florida production! Can't Get Enough: 90min. This is the mid 1970's release of Damiano's 1970 softcore feature film Teenie Tulip with XX inserts starring Terri Hall & others.
