| Movie Trivia |

|
Original Movie Cast included Dom DeLuise, Charles Durning, Theresa Merrit, Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds
Other people that were up for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton's roles in the film included Willie Nelson for the role of Ed Earl Dodd and Barbara Mandrell or Crystal Gale for the role Miss Mona Stangley. This was based upon a true story in which investigative reporter Marvin Zindler (who inspired Dom Deluise's "Melvin P. Thorpe" character), still with KTRK-TV, the ABC affiliate in Houston, Texas closed down the "Chicken Ranch" of Prostitution in LaGrange, Texas in 1973. The exterior of the Chicken Ranch was erected on the Universal lot where the Bates house from Psycho (1960) originally stood. The Bates house was moved to a more permanent location when the began filming on Psycho II (1983). The Chicken Ranch house went on to be the Firefly residence in House of 1000 Corpses (2003). The film went over budget because of the various production problems. Several directors came and went, the script was always being rewritten and Dolly Parton wrote several more songs than were eventually included. |
