		The original Chicken Ranch has a history that goes back to the 19th century in Texas (serving soldiers from the Civil War through WWII, cowboys, and eventually the workers drawn in by the Texas oil boom).
		During the periods the women work—which can last for months at a time (the minimum stay at the Chicken Ranch is 10 days with girls always spending the first few days unable to work until STD test results arrive from a clinic in Las Vegas)—prostitutes are not allowed beyond the gates that enclose the brothel.

		The best little whorehouse of the movie's title was a legendary Texas brothel named the Chicken Ranch, which was immortalized first by generations of young Texans and later in a Broadway play by Larry King and Peter Masterson.

		This is carried so far that Parton's only reference to her bosom (indeed, the only moment in the movie when anyone deigns to even notice it) is about her problems "luggin' these around." It's all so matter-of-fact, it's asexual.

	3BlackChicks Review...THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS - live theater (Bams)
		I was never convinced that her Mona had a passion for anything; not the Chicken Ranch, not fighting the pissant [I do so like that word] Watch Dog, and certainly not her unrequited love, Ed Earl.
		Avery Sommers (Jewel) definitely had the pipes for her part, though "her part", like most of the rest when dealing with the Ranch women, was never really fleshed out.
		Not that the movie version of TBLWIT was any big shakes; except for a couple cute songs (and a kickass performance by Charles Durning as the Governor), the movie was rather easy to forget.
