San Francisco based Jim & Artie Mitchell were at the forefront of bringing the sexual revolution to American cinema. Working within their filmmaking collective known as Cinema 7, the brothers and their group of regular artistic collaborators created dozens of intelligent, thought provoking, and radically minded erotic feature and short films. Mitchell Brothers Film Group will bring their extraordinary body of work to Blu-ray and 4K UHD in deluxe, restored editions, many of which will be coming to disc for the first time.
Gloria Saunders arrives at a quiet, bayside hotel for a relaxed evening. But the tranquility of her stay is quickly interrupted when a trio of men violently kidnap her, bringing her to a strange club. Confused and frightened, Gloria is soothingly informed that she is to be the centerpiece of an elaborate sexual performance which will fulfill her deepest longings and hidden desires, only to have no memory of the experience after it concludes. With no choice but to participate, she is prepared and brought on stage where anonymous lovers of all types begin to emerge through the mysterious green door. A low budget, but highly ambitious effort which would become one of the biggest X-rated hits of the 1970s, The Mitchell Brothers' landmark BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR made an international sensation and bonafide star out of its leading lady, Marilyn Chambers (Rabid), while also becoming one of the first hardcore features to win mainstream acclaim for both its technical innovation and artistic merits. With a supporting cast including Johnnie Keyes (SexWorld), George McDonald (Powder Burns), NFL star Ben Davidson (The Black Six), and many more figures from San Francisco’s underground and counterculture art scenes, which helped further develop its cult reputation, BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR at last comes to 4K UHD and Blu-ray, from the Mitchell Brothers Film Group. This genre classic is newly restored from its 16mm camera original alongside a bountiful selection of special features, including a bonus CD containing its outstanding original soundtrack.

"Love this release, outstanding all around. The transfer is great, the packaging is lovely, the booklet and CD are nice inclusions. So happy to have this package of the classic film, and I liked the Behind The Mitchell Brothers documentary."
"One of the most important films of the Golden Age of Porn is finally restored and released in a beautiful edition from the Mitchell Brothers Film Group and Mélusine. The artwork and packaging are incredible, the contents from booklets, to the CD soundtrack, to the plethora of extras make this a must for every adult film collection. The film is quite interesting, incorporating some avant garde elements making it more art house than most classic x. Highly recommended!"
"The Mitchell Brothers' notorious "Behind the Green Door" arrives in a sparkling package and restoration and more informational supporting material that such a threadbare vehicle can support or deserve. The restoration of the print renders the slightest flush on the comely Marilyn Chambers with startling clarity, but the vivid images only makes more obvious the shallowness of substance. Still for Porno Chic completists or dedicated cultural archeologists, it is a handsome package."
"A fascinating piece of 1970s adult cinema, blending surreal imagery and dreamlike atmosphere with a very minimal story. The UHD restoration, beautiful packaging, and special features make this release well worth owning for fans of cult and adult films."
"One of the classics of porno chic. While not the greatest adult film ever made, it has its place in history, as the beginning of an era and putting Marilyn Chambers on the map. Excellent restoration and deluxe release. Great disc extras and essays detailing the film’s history."
"This is a fantastic package for a pretty important piece of cinema history. The movie is fascinating to watch, it looks great, and Marilyn Chambers is captivating. Beautiful packaging and tons of supplements."
"Fantastic presentation of a seminal (heh) film! Artwork of the slip is probably the best the title has ever had, and all the bonus material really puts the film in the historical context. More or less must-own for any meaningful study of adult film"
"This one-of-a-kind film, featuring Marilyn Chambers is a must have for any serious collector. A beautiful edition with cool extras like a Japanese promo poster and a booklet with the original story that inspired the legendary movie"
"They don't make 'em like this anymore! If you think adult film, and you look at the current state of affairs, you'll be shocked to see a film like this which stradles the line of the art film while at the same time offering the hard sex that you're used to. No wonder Marilyn Chambers got so well known, seeing as she attracts attention from everyone, even if her dialogue is non-existant. In terms of releases, this must be the most luxurious edition of an adult film in the history of physical media."
"Awesome packaging !! Looking forward to viewing the content ……"
