Behind the Green Door: the Sequel (1986) is the sequel to the American pornographic film Behind the Green Door. It was produced by the Mitchell brothers and starred Elisa Florez, who used the stage name of Missy Manners.[1] It had a "safe sex" theme as a response to the AIDS crisis. [1] Hence, all sexual contact between performers featured the use of condoms, dental dams and medical exam gloves.
Cast
Elisa Florez was a United States Senate Page, receptionist for Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, and daughter of the Undersecretary of Education during the administration of George H. W. Bush.[2]
Though Florez was in a relationship with producer Artie Mitchell, she maintains that she auditioned for the lead role in the film, a claim which many who were significantly involved in the project disputed. Her links to Republican party officials were emphasized in publicity for the film[3] in much the same fashion as her predecessor, Marilyn Chambers, having modeled for Ivory Snow.
Reception
Behind The Green Door: The Sequel was a critical and commercial disaster, and James and Arthur Mitchell ended up losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.
