The link says "Behind the Green Door" was "the first pornographic movie widely distributed in the United States" in 1972.  Honestly!  There were LOADS of dirty movies in wide circulation before that -- notably Deep Throat (1971).  

What "made" Behind the Green Door, however, was the fact that Marilyn Chambers, the star, was the Ivory Snow girl -- she was a model whose photo appeared on boxes of Ivory Snow holding a baby.  

I was a law student at NYU at the time and an NYU Law professor, Norman Redlich, was the chief legal officer of New York City.  He took on the task of prosecuting the theaters in Times Square that were showing Behind the Green Door for obscenity.  Those of us at the law school with a sense of the absurd decided we'd write and publish a review of the movie in the law school newspaper, which we did, much to Redlich's chagrin.  

I don't think Redlich won the case.  But in the annals of the law and dirty movies, one cannot forget that landmark case of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Inc. v. Pussycat Cinema, in which the cheerleaders sued the theater showing "Debbie Does Dallas" for trademark infringement on the theory that the cheerleader costume -- like, say, McDonald's golden arches -- was a protectible trademark that "Debbie" had infringed!

happened with the Painting crew that was here. I moved all my lingerie, toys, and other paraphenalia into a safe place or so I thought..

However, when I opened the closet to show them a few spots that needed touching up, out fell my box with my pink Strap-on in it, right to the floor and at their feet!

Ok..what could I say? How embarrassing..

We better get that pillsbury dude to drop by.  If anybody can blow that dough-(boy) it's the NetM!
