Date Sold 9/13/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Special Movie Poster (measures 17" x 22" [43 x 56 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 poster is one of four special 17x22 posters that were created by the Mitchell Brothers in 1972 to promote the release of this movie. We auctioned a complete set of four of them in 2015 (split into three auctions). Now we have been consigned two of these posters, and we are auctioning them in two separate auctions, and these two posters have a VERY interesting origin! They come directly from the Mitchell Brothers Theatre in San Francisco. One of the brothers had a fine art collection and it was sold to a dealer, and in that collection were some of the posters from their own movies, and that dealer had these posters for many years and recently came across them and consigned them to eMoviePoster.com. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few smudges and creases around the edges (see our image) and there is some tiny paper loss in the center crossfold. It is otherwise in generally nice condition.
