Auction History Result 2t0994 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR 24x36 1sh 1972 Mitchell Bros' classic, c/u sexy naked Marilyn Chambers! Date Sold 8/30/2022 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 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. Condition: good to very good. The poster has pinholes in the corners and some fine surface paper loss along portions of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this time period). There are oval-shaped creases along pot he vertical foldline from when the poster was machine folded. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
