Date Sold 1/10/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25" x 36" [64 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 25" x 36" [64 x 91 cm]. Because of its origin coming straight from the Mitchell Brothers Theatre (see below), we feel certain it is an authentic poster from 1972, but the question exists, why does this poster measure 25x36, whereas all but one of the previous examples of this poster measure 24x36? We wonder if perhaps this poster isn't a test poster, because we don't really see another explanation. The only difference between this poster and the 24x36 poster is that it has extra white border on the left and right (1/2" on each side). Please bear in mind that this poster measures 1" wider before bidding on it. Condition: good to very good. The poster has paper loss at lower right in the blank corner. It has tape stains around the edges (the original tape was not used for any restoration purpose) and there is some slight discoloration along the upper edge (see our image). There is small stain on back at left that slightly bleeds through to the front in the left side of Chambers' hair where it is not very noticeable or distracting. After linenbacking (at which time the slight discoloration would be corrected through chemical means) the very rare poster will display well. Learn More about condition grades
