Constance Money in: 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 (as Henry Paris).
