FILM DESCRIPTION:
Miss Mona (Dolly Parton) runs the Chicken Ranch, a brothel with a long history in a small Texas town. The locals have a good relationship with the institution, and Mona is respected in the community. The sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd (Burt Reynolds), also looks out for the Chicken Ranch due to his past with Miss Mona. However, when pious reporter Melvin Thorpe (Dom DeLuise) exposes the brothel, outside interests want it shut down, putting the governor (Charles Durning) in a tough spot.

Had to do a paper for my Texas Government class. All the professor told us was it had to have SOMETHING to do with Texas Government or Politics. Well, this was right after Burt Reynolds passed, so my Daddy was on a Burt Reynolds kick so we had watched this. That night my parents poked their heads in and ask, "How goes the studying?" I told them it was hard to focus on the details of the (SEVEN!) Texas Constitutions when I had the songs from this film stuck in my head. My dad jokingly said, "Maybe it's a sign that that's what you should do your paper on." But my Momma said, "No, seriously. Isn't it based on a true story?" So I did the research and presented it to the professor, under the thesis that the politicians of Texas had no problem with the Chicken Ranch existing until it was brought into the limelight and made them look corrupt, then it had to go ASAP. My professor was impressed and I got a 100 on the paper. 😀

Those that are married - they might not have told their wives but their wives probably know. Remember later on we meet a woman who's late husband was up there every week, said she appreciated the time she had to herself. In any case, there's no drunken brawls, no shady deals going on, every one is polite, no one is forced to go up there - the customers come of their own free will and the women who work there work there because they choose to, they weren't blackmailed, kidnapped, manipulated or in any way forced to work there.

[@NomadAngie]

Dolly: It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see Also Dolly: does a grand entrance in a stunning evening gown, and changes into several stunning numbers throughout the song.

[@Badger31201]

A little background: Dolly and Burt were both EXTREMELY sick during the filming of this movie. Dolly was having major GI problems, and whatever Burt had, he was running a fever for much of it. That just goes to show you what troopers they were!

[@lisalu910]

Poor Dolly, when you look at the tight girdles they put her in, it's a wonder she could BREATHE, let alone sing. But of course I imagine she dubbed the vocals in the studio where she could be comfortable and let it all out.

[@drewknight7126]

It's called being a PRO!

[@lass-inangeles7564]

It shows you that both had unhealthy lifestyles. Burt Reynolds was an alcoholic and addicted to the sleep drug Halcion. His sick body was of his own making and it is right that he suffered for it. Any and all alcohol permanently damages the liver and organs. Serves him right. Your liver under your care. Neglect and abuse it, then you die a painful early, inglorious death. Dolly Parton - Southern gal who ate a southern diet full of typical Southern comfort foods, like cornbread, roast pork with green beans and fried okra, and banana pudding. Parton also has a soft spot for a popular taco chain. These are carb heavy foods which set off inflammation in the gut and raise your insulin levels, overtax the pancreas, liver and gall bladder and gut lining. If she had GI tract issues, bloating, indigestion, sluggishness, low energy, etc., it all came from the rich food. All she had to do was fix the food, do fasting. She was fat too. I don't feel sorry for, or praise anyone that indulges in self-destructive behavior. It is right that they should suffer for it. It is only through pain and suffering that we change for the better. You have to be disciplined in life, not self indulgent. There is always a heavy cost for self indulgence.

[@denisesurber8176]

A lot of people would call out of work for less serious problems than those.

Those gowns she wears in this song are in her museum at Dollywood and they are just as spectacular in person. Dolly is literally everything

[@lordunderstatement3645]

The multitude of flavors she can layer into a musical phrase are just magical, especially combined with the breathy quality of her voice and the sweetness that coats it all. Every word, look, and movement just says quite plainly that she is exactly where she wants to be and doing exactly what she wants to be doing.

I watch this movie every now and then and belt the songs out at the top of my lungs. Good for chasing the blues away!

[@mckayladill5551]

My mom showed me this movie in second grade and I kept telling all my little friends the name of this movie

[@cameroncarley6854]

Everything about this is absolute perfection.

[@8bitlatina845]

Dolly is such a legend. This was my favorite movie when I was growing up.

It's just a little bitty pissant country place Ain't nothin' much to see No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin' old time country place Ain't nothing too high tone Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill But there's nothing dirty going on Nothing dirty going on We get simple farmers, local business men Congress folks from Austin, young boys looking for sin Now we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high By pay day id get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin old time country place, nothing too high tone Just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day Now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no-no rules Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no-no rules Ruby, Ray start em! Beds are not to be wallowed in That's the kind of thing that big fat lazy hogs do And it don't make money! Betrix! I won't tolerate no tying up my telephone with other people's business Eloise honey! And please don't show us no tattoos No hearts and flowers on your thigh It's downright tacky Brands for the cattle and that ain't what we're selling at Miss Mona's Do you catch my drift? I pay the food and the rent and the utilities You keep your mind on your work responsibilities Don't let your mouth overload your capabilities And we can get along Dawn! Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now Tatty Joe! I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow Lindy Lue! Any one taking sick leave better be real sure they're sick And every time you hear that bell... You better get here double quick And as for pimps Pimps are something you don't need To get your daily business done Are you listening, girls? Keep them leaches and blood suckers off the back roads, I know how to use a gun And nobody messes with my girls And any questions you might have about the way I run this place Don't grip and whine behind my back Just tell me face to face, I'm open-minded, say it all Then go upstairs and pack, the door's that a-way She pays the food and the rent and the utilities We keep our mind on our work responsibilities Don't let your mouth overload your capabilities And we can get along It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill But there's nothing dirty going on Nothing dirty going on

Mrs Parton really does shine in this film . She seemed to be having a good time.

"Nothing dirty going on" is sarcasm, right?

I love ole dolly she has a beautiful voice i use to love singing these songs back in the 80's

[@paysonterhune290]

Damn I love Dollys black gown...the red one is pretty awesome too..

[@tdawg1189]

If I could love this I would. I grew up with this movie as weird as it sounds from literally 0.

[@condeuiosandilixtos7858]

Watched this movie for the first time yesterday. I was surprised by how oddly relatable and fun it is, even though I'm not a fan of musicals. Definitely worth it, will watch it again.

[@rebeccawhittington8979]

Dolly Parton wardrobe in this film are to die for! i love all her outfits, but my top favourites have to be the dress at 2:11 the black dress she wears at the end and the one that she wears when she's singing with the girls as they wait for the bus

[@pyro_77ygh24]

No other country singer had a voice like hers

[@UGuessin]

If they remade this movie they’d never top this cast.

[@xsekhmetx]

I love how most of the comments don’t even comment on the women and their bodies, negatively or positively. Absolutely no reason to sexualise this because it’s so wholesome and wonderful. Also, the body positivity. Skinny women, thicker women, stomach rolls, perky breasts and saggy breasts and they’re all beautiful.

[@moniquejohnson2042]

Even though this movie is for grown ups I’ve been watching this movie ever since I was born and still today I know all the songs

[@karenmalay97]

This movie could NEVER get made today...damn shame.

[@LadyBloodyWrists]

Exposes too much of the hypocrisy still happenning in society, I agree.

[@patrickrobinsob1464]

Actually they WERE talking about doing a remake that is closer to the stage musical with either Anna Farris or Queen Latifah as Miss Mona.

[@pacificH2O]

I saw this movie in the cinema with my grandmother. I loved it!!

[@maryhlad5277]

This was the first rated R movie that I ever saw.
