Usually named as one of the top three all-time porn classics, Behind the Green Door is certainly significant. It marked the splashing debut of Marilyn Chambers and established a chic, sophisticated approach to erotic films. In contrasts to Deep Throat, which mixed hardcore action with asinine jokes, Green Door is smooth, urbane and a realistic study of a woman's sexuality. By today's standards the photography and filmmaker is lacking in quality, but it is still a watchable and arousing film. The story is about a trucker sitting in a café talking to this guy about a strange, bizarre sex club he attended while in San Francisco. In the club, a beautiful young girl was kidnapped and forced to participate in a live sex show for an audience of wealthy vouyers. The erotic finale is what makes the movie a standout. Watching Chambers taking on black stud Johnny Keyes is a classic scene.
