Dolly Parton's TRiPLE Feature
7:30pm
BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS - Directed by Colin Higgins - 1982
Containing: Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Charles Durning.
Dolly Parton can evoke a smile from even the most hardened criminal… for more reasons than one. Which is why we have three films celebrating the joy that Dolly brings to our universe. Here Dolly shines as an optimistic prostitute in this wacky whorehouse hybrid: part nudie film, part musical extravaganza. This early 80’s camp-classic delivers as many raunchy innuendos, close-ups of Burt’s moustache, and foot-stomping Country/Western numbers to get you up and dancin’ the night away.
Nobody does it like Dolly! - 114 mins, SCOPE

9:45pm
NINE TO FIVE - Directed by Colin Higgins - 1980
Containing: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman, Sterling Hayden.
Feminism reached mainstream America because of this movie right here. Come cheer for these three pragmatic, audacious, and hilarious women as they take on The Man (Coleman) and raise the chauvinist ceiling for the modern day working-woman. Rarely will you experience the dominance of actresses like Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton in one film. 110 min.
Make sure to get ADVANCE TIX early, cuz this baby is gonna be packed!

RHINESTONE - Directed by Bob Clark - 1984
Containing: Dolly Parton, Sylvester Stallone, Richard Farnsworth.
Apart from being the forgotten gem of both Dolly & Sly Stallone’s career, this 1980’s glitter-fest is also one of the funniest films you’ve never seen! Dolly plays a Country/Western singer who bets everything she has on being able to turn a typical New York cabbie (Stallone) into a famous singer. Dolly & Sly will have you laughing to tears (and I’m not even talking about their skin-tight 80’s costumes!) But what’s truly addictive about Rhinestone is how well it dances that fine line between total embarrassment and sheer brilliance. (You know which side I’m on!)
111 min, Pristine 16mm SCOPE print!
(Plus, this is directed by the man who made both BABY GENIUSES films!!)

Hi
You dont no me but my name is megan. I am your numder one fan. I live in plymouth W.I. My family and I are looking forward to comming to Dollywood. I would love it if I could meet you in person. My favorite song that you sing is Hard Candy Christmas. It is the CD with Kenny Rodgers. My mom used to sing it when her mom died. She died 4 days before Christmas. My mom would sing it to cheer her up a bit. Ever sinse that day she has been singing it and I even memorized it. We actually sing it now in the car. I also love your song 9 to 5. I almost no it word from word but not all the way. So as you see I really really really love your voice and your songs. I really hope that I could meet you in person someday and maybe even have dinner or something together. I'm sure you would fall in love with my family. They would love you too. Please contact me back.
