The stage production ran on Broadway from June 1978 to March 1982, and then staged a return engagement from May until July. A [[TheMovie film adaptation]] was released around this time, directed by Colin Higgins (''Film/NineToFive'') and starring Creator/BurtReynolds as the Sheriff, Music/DollyParton as Miss Mona and Creator/DomDeluise as Thorpe. Featuring Creator/JimNabors as the Sheriff's Deputy and Creator/CharlesDurning as the Governor of Texas, it had several new songs written and performed by Parton, including her famous "I Will Always Love You".
The film received mixed critical reviews but was commercially successful, being (at the time) the highest-grossing live-action movie musical, held until ''Film/{{Dreamgirls}}'' 24 years later. It has become something of a CultClassic over the years.
