BWW Review: DEBBIE DOES DALLAS is Sublimely Silly Satire
During the seventies, the adult film industry went through a very strange period of trying to make adult films with actual plots and dialogue. The attempts, to put it mildly, were laughable. The 'acting' was, at best, wooden and the dialogue ranged the gamut from stilted to repetitive. During this period, which has been dubbed 'The Golden Age of Porn' or 'Porno Chic', came some big box office successes. Among the biggest hits of this era was the film 'Debbie Does Dallas', released in 1978, close to the end of the period. By the early eighties, home video effectively ended the era where people went to movie theaters to see porn.

BWW Reviews: NonProphet Theater Co. Provides Raunchy Adult Fun with DEBBIE DOES DALLAS-THE MUSICAL
Debbie Does Dallas was a ground-breaking bit of sordid celluloid that ushered in an era of amateur pornography, where a pimply ass was not something to be ashamed of, but something to be celebrated, sort of. And it was a time when you could watch this kind of stuff at home without the fear of anyone seeing you walk out of a dingy, sticky-floored theatre like the old Fine Arts. Turning this bit of adult-oriented goofiness into a full-fledged musical is an inspired notion, and happily we have NonProphet Theatre Company to thank (and I truly mean that) for unleashing the peculiarly amusing aberration that is DEBBIE DOES DALLAS - THE MUSICAL on the stage-going public here in St. Louis.
