Set in a small Texas town, this 1982 musical comedy follows the story of a beloved local brothel, affectionately known as the Chicken Ranch, which faces closure due to the efforts of a crusading television reporter.

Directed by Colin Higgins, the movie is a lively adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, featuring catchy tunes and vibrant dance numbers. While it didn’t win any major awards, it remains a cult favorite for its humor and charm. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
