Auction History Result 8f0532 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR 24x36 1sh 1972 Mitchell Bros' classic, c/u sexy naked Marilyn Chambers! Date Sold 4/13/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 24" x 36" [61 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!

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). We have auctioned two posters for this movie that had slightly wider left and right borders and they measured 25" x 36", but they came directly from the Mitchell Brothers Theatre, and they were likely "test" posters. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some fold and border wear, light creases scattered in various areas, and some pinholes around the edges. There is tiny paper loss at the top crossfold. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
