Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly a wonderful movie, one of my favorites.
The plot, the music, everything about it is great.
DVD Review: Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a timeless statement of the stupidity of human nature and the nature of Government Representatives. Some so-called 'doooo-gooder'decides that the house of pleasure must be closed and brings it to the attention of a nation. The Establishment has only been in existence for a hundred years and locals are gobstopped that there a 'whorehouse' in their town. Well hush my mouth!!!
Dolly Parton fans will love this movie - the part was made for her and she was gorgeous in it.
DVD Review: BLWIT is alot of fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
The greatest thing about it is that it not really that far off from the true story! The real name of the TV watchdog is Marvin Zindler, who passed away recently.
Just buy it and enjoy!

Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic! The music is wonderful and entertaining, the acting is subperb! I have loved this movie since it's release!
Description of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
This is an energetic, but ultimately mediocre adaptation of the play, directed on Broadway by Tommy Tune. Burt Reynolds is the town sheriff and a regular patron of a local bordello. He wages a public battle to keep it open after it is targeted as the devil's den by a television minister. Charles Durning was nominated for a Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and there are some lively song and dance numbers featuring Dolly Parton as the madame of the Chicken Ranch. However, this becomes bogged down in too many serious moments for it to be more than a lightweight musical comedy. --Rochelle O'GormanGeneral DVDs
