The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

"The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" was released in 1982 as a musical comedy film featuring Burt Reynolds as Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd and Dolly Parton as Mona Stangley. Upon its release, the movie received mixed reviews, with critics appreciating the charm and performances, particularly Dolly Parton's, but some feeling the adaptation from stage to screen lost some of its original spark. The film performed reasonably well at the box office, aided by its lighthearted take on a controversial subject and catchy musical numbers. Over time, its reputation has softened; it has developed a loyal fan base and is often viewed nostalgically for its unique blend of humor, music, and Southern charm. While it may not be universally considered a cult classic, it is certainly regarded by many as an underrated gem of early 80s musical cinema, appreciated for its entertainment value and iconic performances.
