A zingy little musical stretched out rather uncomfortably over nearly two hours with a couple of hummable songs and hardly enough plot to cover a whorehouse customer's embarrassment in a police raid. Like June, Dolly Parton is bustin' out all over as the madame of a bordello, established 1910 and happily accepted by the local county, which suddenly becomes the centre of a morals storm. Burt Reynolds gets the chance to sing a zippy duet with Dolly (Sneakin' Around) as the sheriff who shares her bed and turns a blind eye to the others all around him. And bulky Charles Durning enjoys a few blithe musical moments as the state governor who enjoys `side-stepping' and sitting on a fence of his own skilful making.
