Draft:Deep Throat Part II

Deep Throat Part II, later renamed Linda Lovelace, Secret Agent, is a 1974 satirical comedy spy film written and directed by Joseph W. Sarno and starring Linda Lovelace as Nurse Lovelace. Harry Reems, Andrea True, and Kathie Fitch appear in supporting roles. While it was marketed as being a direct sequel, the film is instead a spiritual successor in title only to Gerard Damiano's pornographic film Deep Throat (1972); featuring entirely different characters, a separate storyline, and it notably contains no graphic pornography.

The plot follows Lovelace as a sex therapist under pursuit by domestic and foreign spies due to one of her patients being in the process of finalizing a giant supercomputer for the United States government. Lovelace disowned the film before its release, declaring it a "rip-off," and felt that it was capitalizing on the popularity of her name and the notoriety of the 1972 film.

Plot
Sex therapist Nurse Lovelace is unaware that one of her patients is the target of domestic and foreign spies due to him being in the process of finalizing a giant supercomputer for the United States government.

Cast

 * Linda Lovelace as Nurse Lovelace
 * Harry Reems as Doctor Jayson
 * Kathie Fitch as Sonya Toroscova

Casting
Linda Lovelace received top billing and had a salary and a percentage of the gross, unlike the 1972 film, in which she only earned $1,250. Lovelace got cast alongside two of her original co-stars—Harry Reems and Andrea True. Before its release, Lovelace expressed worries about the film, as she wanted to be taken seriously as a legitimate actress. Lovelace found the film exploitative of the popularity of her name and the titling of the film as an attempt to cash in on the notoriety of her debut film. Film and stage actress Kathie Fitch, credited under the stage name Chris Jordan, was cast in the supporting role of a spy.

Reception
Ned Powers of The Star-Phoenix gave a negative review, writing: "It is a soft core pornography effort, considerably less sensational than its American predecessor." Writing for Asbury Park Press, Frank Cafone criticized the film for being misleading and exploitative, stating:
 * ""Deep Throat (Part II)" could have been the "Duck Soup" of pornographic films. But there is not enough wit to call it satire and not enough skin to call it pornography. It is so poorly scripted, so horrendously acted, and so totally stupid that its real purpose becomes apparent after the first few moments. By creating an R-rated "pornographic movie" and titling it "Deep Throat (Part II)" the producers of this film can sucker in not only fans of the original "Throat" but also those people too inhibited to see an X-rated film or visit a theater which regularly shows such films. "Throat II" is tame enough to play any theater, and money's money no matter where it comes from."

In a negative review for The Province, critic Michael Walsh wrote:
 * "Deep Throat Part II reunites three of the original film's stars — Miss Lovelace, Harry Reems, and Andrea True — and attempts to rekindle the successful satiric brushfire. Unfortunately, the original project's spark, writer-director Gerard Damiano, took no part in the proceedings. The result, in a word, is a rip-off. A foolish, flagrant attempt to cash in on the notoriety of the original, it is a witless pastiche that looks more like a fun-night show at Camp Runamuck than a professionally-made motion picture."
