Script review - "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" by Colin Higgins

 Basically same as the final film, from memory, with a few key exceptions

- this doesn't have the coda explaining they got married and Earl got elected (which I think was a great addition)

- this has a sequence where a girl goes to work at the Chicken ranch, admits her dad got "sweet on her" and Monda sings a song - great character stuff but I can see why it was cut.

It's wholesome, cheery, a fine star vehicle. Making it a romance totally works. I know Larry King whined but this works better.
