According to a 2008 article in The Nation, in 1973 Gramm, along with his brother-in-law George Caton, invested in a soft-core Pornography Film known as "Truck Stop Women: No Rig Is Too Big for Them to Handle". Gramm advanced $15,000, but when that investment fell through, Gramm's money was returned, and Caton promised him am opportunity to invest in the next film. [16]
His subsequent attempt in 1974, "Beauty Queens", met a similar fate, and Gramm again had $15,000 returned to him. In 1975, Gramm finally found a film to reach production in "White House Madness", a soft-core pornographic political satire set in the White House during Nixon's administration. When the film, which was criticized for it's production value, flopped, Gramm lost his $7,500 investment. [17]. Gramm is not currently given production credit on the films IMDB page.[18]. Gramms involvement may be contributing to a post-box-office revival of the film, however, as it currently receives a decent IMDB rating of 6.5 out of 10.
