About this event

This charming, campy musical may be about a brothel, but as Dolly assures us in her opening number, “there ain’t nothin’ dirty goin’ on!” Parton stars as Miss Mona, the no-nonsense madam of the famous Chicken Ranch brothel, while Reynolds plays the local sheriff—and Parton’s lover—who turns a blind eye to the Ranch’s activities. Their arrangement is threatened when a moralistic TV reporter launches a public smear campaign demanding its closure. Featuring nine Dolly songs, including “Sneakin’ Around” and a re-recording of “I Will Always Love You,” this beloved cult classic is the perfect send-off for the Queen of Country. All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated, and the film start time is as advertised above. Content Warning: language and moderate sexual references/nudity Runtime: 114 minutes Director: Colin Higgins Country: U.S.A Year: 1982 Film
