Linda Lovelace for President

MPI/Dark Sky Films released the ribald comedy LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT on DVD August 26th. END Films produced the short featurette DEEP VOTE: THE ORAL HISTORY OF LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT especially for this release.

With America in a united state of chaos as it approaches the 1976 presidential elections, a desperate electorate turns to its only hope for salvation, sanity and satisfaction in the White House… porn star Linda Lovelace!

As the chosen candidate of the newly christened Upright party, Linda sets off on a cross country trip to lay her campaign strategy, arouse the national spirit, get the pollsters behind her and go down in history as the First Woman to occupy the Oval Office.

DVD Production Notes:
The first in a series of documentaries involving the legendary Arthur Marks produced by END Films, DEEP VOTE: THE ORAL HISTORY OF LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT chronicles the making of the film LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT and porn star Linda Lovelace’s bid for mainstream stardom with this 1975 exploitation film. An amusing tale, as told by producer and uncredited co-director Arthur Marks, DEEP VOTE is the sole bonus feature on the MPI/Dark Sky Films DVD release of LLFP. Shocking, politically incorrect, bawdy and naughty—this picture satisfies in spite of its short comings. Pun intended.

Useless Movie Trivia:
Richard Donner was first courted by Arthur Marks to direct LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT but declined in favor of making his feature-film debut with THE OMEN.
