	Movies - The Opening of Misty Beethoven

The Opening of Misty Beethoven is an American hardcore pornography film released in 1976, and widely considered one of the best pornographic films ever made. Produced with a relatively high budget and filmed on elaborate locations in Italy and New York City, it owes much to its fastidious director Radley Metzger (directing this film as Henry Paris).

In an era in which pornography was just beginning to be widely released, most movies of that time were expected to have at least minimal plots. Misty's plot was more elaborate than most; it was based directly on the old Pygmalion legend and, more recently, George Bernard Shaw's play of the same name, as well as the Broadway and Hollywood success My Fair Lady
. It also has the distinction of being the first widely-released porn movie to feature pegging, female-on-male anal sex via a strap-on dildo.

The three leads were Constance Money (playing the title role), Gloria Leonard, and Jamie Gillis.

It received the first annual Erotic Film Festival Award for Best Movie.

In 2004, Misty Beethoven: The Musical, a musical remake, was released. It featured Sunset Thomas, Randy Spears, Judy Meadows, Asia Carrera, Chloe, Dave Cummings, Mike Horner, Evan Stone, and Tyce Bune. It was directed by Veronica Hart.
