The Best Little Warehouse in Texas (1982)
We know, that’s not the title. We had to change it to appease the standards of some of the sites that syndicate this gallery you’re reading.
This very sex-positive Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton film portrays an idyllic relationship between a madame (Dolly Parton) and sheriff (Burt Reynolds.) He allows her business to flourish, seeing her version of sex work as a victimless crime. Things only get messy when some local do-gooding opportunists start protesting.
The film offers a version of sex work in which police would protect, rather than prosecute, sex workers, who would control their own fates.
That’s pretty forward-thinking for 1982.
