The revolutionary adult film that ushered in a new era of Porn Chic introduced America to the idea of sex as sophistication and erotic films as Art. Scandals ensued on Madison Avenue as the Mitchell brothers enlisted then unknown Ivory Snow girl Marilyn Chambers, for the film and appropriated their slogan, billing Chambers as "99 and 44/100 percent pure."

"Behind the Green Door" is a tale of fantasy, fear, anxiety and expectation. It begins as a story within a story; a trucker narrates the story of the "Green Door" to a fellow diner. As the story goes, a woman, with whom he had been flirting earlier, was abducted from the hotel where they both had been staying. In a case of serendipity, the woman winds up being the main attraction at the private sex club he is attending that same night. In front of a live audience, the woman is to be cajoled into making whoopie with various groups of people on stage for the pleasure of the club's rich and exclusive members.

The film broke new ground through its acceptance and appeal to mainstream audiences. It is also considered to be the first feature length film to include an interracial sex scene. Paul Schrader credits the film as an inspiration for him penning 1976's "Taxi Driver" and fans of Stanley Kubrick will see the similarities evident in "Eyes Wide Shut."

One of the biggest box office successes of the 1970s, "Behind the Green Door" was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, received positive critical reviews in the mainstream media and is the second movie to be inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Liner Notes:
Marilyn Chambers, the All-American Girl, who undeniably changed the face of the adult film industry stars in her classic, ground-breaking ingenue role. Brought to the screen by the cutting edge talents of the Mitchell Brothers, she takes you on a cinematic journey into the sublime.
