Behind the Green Door (German: Behind the Green Door ) is an American porn film by Artie and James Mitchell with Marilyn Chambers as the leading actress, who, like the film Deep Throat, is one of the classics of pornography ; it sparked a scandal in 1972.

Together with Deep Throat , the film also established the so-called porn-chic boom of the 1970s, when porn films were shown in normal cinemas and seen by a relatively broad audience.

action

Marilyn Chambers is kidnapped into a sex theater where she is forced to perform various sexual acts in front of a masked audience.

In the first scene, a mime appears on stage with a green door in the background. Backstage, Marilyn is seduced or hypnotized by Lisa Grant. Then the green door is opened and Marilyn is led out, undressed by six women and sexually stimulated. In the second scene, an African American takes the stage and the two have intercourse in front of the audience. Group sex and other scenes follow .
