Behind the Green Door (released in Japan as "Green Door"), the 1972 Artie Mitchell & Jim Mitchell (billed as "The Mitchell Brothers") sexploitation movie ("The all-American girl") starring Marilyn Chambers, George S. MacDonald, Johnny Keyes, Lisa Grant, Yank Levine, and Ben Davidson (a pro football player who has an amusing non-sex cameo as an intimidating bouncer, and the posters bill him as "Special Guest Appearance by a famous all-star football professional [you'll recognize him]"). Note that Marilyn Chambers had appeared in Wes Craven's "Together" the year before, and the Mitchell Brothers offered her a non-sex role in this movie, but then they talked her into taking the lead role, paying her what was at the time the highest salary a performer in such a movie ever received. Even though she is the "lead" of the movie, her character says not a single word of dialog! Soon after this movie was released, it was revealed that star Marilyn Chambers had formerly been an "Ivory" soap model, which created quite a media sensation, and made the movie one of the most successful sexploitation movies of all time!

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 24" x 36" [61 x 91 cm], but it has not been trimmed (to the best of our knowledge, this is absolutely the only original one-sheet created for this classic movie, and that there was no 27" x 41" version of this one-sheet created). However, we once auctioned a poster for this movie that had slightly wider left and right borders and that poster measured 25" x 36", but that poster came directly from the Mitchell Brothers Theatre, and that poster was likely a "test" poster.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It also had pinholes in the corners and some creases at the top and bottom crossfolds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
