Debbie Does Dallas is a famous 1978 pornographic movie starring Bambi Woods and Christie Ford (appearing under the name of Misty Winter).
The plot of the film focuses on a team of cheerleaders attempting to earn enough money to send the title character to Dallas, Texas to try out for the famous Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad. In the movie the squad had the fictional name "Cowgirls", but it was seen as a take on the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Each girl finds that she can make extra money during her afterschool job by having a sexual encounter with her employer.
Contrary to the title, the film is not set in Dallas nor does the titular Debbie "do" anyone in or from Dallas.
Several scenes in the film were shot at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York in their library and in their gymnasium's sauna without the administration's knowledge or approval, as well as on the field west of H-Quad at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
The movie spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs including Debbie Does New Orleans and Debbie Does Wall Street. It has also been remade with contemporary porn stars.
In 2001 "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" was created by Susan L. Schwartz for the New York Fringe Festival. In 2002 it was made into an Off-Broadway musical comedy. Unlike the original movie, the musical did not contain any actual sex or nudity, which caused some disappointment among people, as false hype had been made and the musical's producers did nothing to dismiss it. Since then, the show has been performed around the world, often with racier direction and more explicit choreography. The story, dialogue and characters are fairly faithful to the original film, with musical numbers standing in for sex scenes or added for comic effect.
