Debbie Does Dallas is a 1978 American pornographic film produced and directed by Jim Clark, and starring Bambi Woods.[2] The plot 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 "Texas Cowgirls" cheerleading squad.[3] The fictional name "Texas Cowgirls" was seen as an allusion to the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.[2][3] Woods had previously tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in real life, but was cut during auditions.[2]
The film was highly successful, selling 50,000 copies on videotape, making it the most successful pornographic video release in its time.[4] It is regarded as one of the most important releases during the so-called "Golden Age of Porn" (1969–1984),[5] and remains one of the best-known pornographic films.[6] The film is in the public domain following a US court ruling in 1987 that declared its copyright to be lost.[7]
The enormous success spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs,[8] and a 2002 off-Broadway musical of the same name.
