The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

In honor of Dolly Parton, we’re making a detour on our musical month short for a trip to the Chicken Ranch. This week on Myopia Movies, Keiko spends 20 minutes looking up Burt Reynold's banana hammock. We talked The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas! Nic, Emily, and Keiko take on the movie with Dolly as the madam with a heart of gold, Burt Reynolds as the sheriff who loves her, and Dom DeLuise as a crusading TV watchdog with a wig that looks like a glued-on rat. The hosts expected something raunchy. What they got was a sweet, wholesome, surprisingly teary musical. Although, if you can get a line on a “Honk if you’ve been fired from the Best Little Whorehouse” bumper sticker, let me know....
