The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas - Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas documents, with lively song and dance, a new Texas legend who now joins The Alamo as a historic institution immortalized in story, song, book, theater and film. The musical was inspired by the real-life, defunct Chicken Ranch, and the big screen version stars Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton as Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd and Chicken Ranch owner Miss Mona, respectively. The two come together not only for a love affair but also to fight against big-city TV crusader Melvin P. Thorpe (Dom DeLuise) and his attempts to expose the Chicken Ranch as a public scandal and have it shut down.
