Together (1971 film)
Together is a 1971 film directed by Sean S. Cunningham. Cunninghams first film attracted Wes Craven who wanted to be in the film business. This was Cravens first credit. Cunningham and Craven would later work on The Last House on the Left. The film features a young Marilyn Chambers, billed under her real name, Marilyn Briggs, before she starred in Behind the Green Door.
They placed ads in the papers about the film and the theater was flooded with people wanting to see it. The line was said by Cunningham to have gone all the way around the block. The film grossed a lot of money in Cunninghams words, phenomenal business and it was another big film for Cunningham and the first hit that Craven worked on. Cunningham and Craven said to Hallmark that if they wrote them a check, Cunningham and Craven would think of another film to do. Cunningham was offered 90,000 by Hallmark to do a scary film and they would later go on to make The Last House on the Left. The film was rereleased in 1973 to capitalize on the notoriety Marilyn Chambers received after it was revealed she was the mother on the Ivory Snow soap box who also was starring in the Xrated hardcore pornographic film Behind the Green Door.
