Behind the Green Door: the Sequel is a 1986 American pornographic film and the sequel to Behind the Green Door. It was produced by the Mitchell brothers and starred Missy Manners. 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

Production

Missy Manners, née Elisa Florez[2] was formerly 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.[3]

Though Manners 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[4] 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; Jim and Artie Mitchell ended up losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in that venture.
