The stage musical opened on Broadway in 1978, with songs by Carol Hall; the original cast starred Carlin Glynn and Henderson Forsythe. Released in 1982, the movie version -- which starred Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, Jim Nabors, Charles Durning, and Dom DeLuise -- retained many of Hall's songs and also added two others by Parton herself, most notably a two-stanza version of the immensely popular number "I Will Always Love You."

Plot The story concerns a brothel in Texas that has been operating for more than a century. In the late 1970s it is under the proprietorship of Miss Mona, who, while taking care of her girls, is also in a relationship with the local sheriff. When a crusading television reporter uncovers the illegal activity, political ramifications cause the place to be closed down. Brothels are establishments (usually illegal) specifically dedicated to prostitution and may be confined to special red-light districts in large cities. ...
Censorship The film version of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas provided some challenges for its film company, Universal Studios, particularly with regards to advertising the film. In parts of the United States in 1982, the word "whorehouse" was considered mildly obscene, resulting in the film being renamed The Best Little Cathouse in Texas in some advertisements, while television advertisements for the film were either banned outright in some areas, or the offending word was censored.
