About Backdoor to Hollywood
Since she cant get into Hollywood though the front door, luscious starlet Ginger Reed heads for the casting couch with movie mogul Zanadu Forsythe as he enters through the bad door – her back door. Unfortunately, a bullet from an unknown source cuts the director down at the climax of his career, throwing both Ginger and the studio into chaos. The call goes out to crack investigator Monahan to unravel the mystery. Dedicated as he is to his profession, Monahan savagely completes his torrid love scene with the Chiefs daughter, and is off to solve the caper. A mystery of this proportion can only be solved by a cop who will plunge in all the way and keep open the BACKDOOR TO HOLLYWOOD.
Directed by Jim Reynolds, Backdoor to Hollywood leans on a strong ensemble — Keli Richards, Maggie Randall, Tamara Longley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1986.
