On August 26, 1974, the Post-Dispatch reported on arrests following the showing of the controversial movie “Deep Throat” in St. Louis. Here is our original coverage.
The controversial movie, “Deep Throat,” was closed last night after St. Louis County Circuit Judge George E. Schaaf viewed the film and termed it “hard-core pornography.”
After viewing the film at the Spanish Lake Adult Cinema, 12109 Bellefontaine Road, Judge Schaaf issued arrest and search warrants at the start of its last run about 10:45 p.m.
Police officers then arrested the manager and the projectionist and seized the film.
