The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas documents in rousing song and dance a new Texas legend, which now joins the Alamo as a historical institution, immortalized in story, song, book, play, and movie. The demise of the real-life Chicken Ranch inspired the hit stage musical, and now this boisterous big-screen adaptation, headed by superstar Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit) as Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd and red-hot country legend Dolly Parton (9 to 5) as the Chicken Ranch's proprietress, Miss Mona. The two join together not only in romance but to fight big-city TV crusader Melvin P. Thorpe (Dom DeLuise, The Cannonball Run) in his efforts to expose the Chicken Ranch to public scandal, and thus close it down. The mighty Charles Durning (The Sting) earned an Oscar nomination (Best Supporting Actor, 1982) as the Governor of Texas in this irresistible Southern-fried classic from filmmaker Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude, Foul Play, 9 to 5). Show-stopping musical numbers include "Sneakin' Around," "Hard Candy Christmas," and Dolly's eternal ballad, "I Will Always Love You." Y'all come back now, you hear?
