The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Trailer (1982)

Trailer for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Madame Mona Stangely and her sheriff boyfriend Ed Earl Dodd battle publicity-seeking politicians and the Moral Majority to prevent the closing of the "Chicken Ranch," a notorious Texas whorehouse.

Though the film was a production nightmare. Not only were there a number of directors who dropped the project, plus another set of script rewrites, but Dolly Parton added songs that never made the cut. Even with all this, the film was the most successful musical adaptation of the 1980s.
