“Every one on the team scores when her pom-poms fly !”
The title of the movie Debbie Does Dallas is more famous that the movie “Debbie Does Dallas”. None of the cast nor crew of the production knew that the movie was going to be a giant success and it was a success, ranking as one of the top-five highest grossing adult-film titles in history. Looked upon now as a cultural phenomenon it look the ‘adult-movie’ genre into mainstream cinema. Any paper from the film is genuinely scarce which makes this country of origin US one sheet from first year of release 1978 a real find. The titular Debbie played by blonde bombshell Bambi Woods is featured pretty much fully clothed in her cheerleader uniform. Originally folded (as issued) the poster has been conservation linen backed and presents in excellent condition with bright unfaded colours. A great and hugely collectable talking piece that represents a cool item of culturally important original film movie memorabilia.

“Debbie gets a spot on the roster of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, which is referenced only as “Texas” throughout the movie. The only problem is that Debbie doesn’t have enough money to get there on her own, and her mom doesn’t want to help her, so her friends decide to help her out, and they all get small jobs around town to raise money. One day, Debbie is approached by her boss, Mr. Greenfeld, who first offers $10 to see her breasts, another $10 to touch them, and finally another $10 to suckle them. She realizes that they can get more money by performing sexual favors. She finally gets to go when Mr. Greenfeld offers to pay for everything if Debbie helps him realize his fantasy and let him “score a touchdown”.
Christie Ford”Debbie Does Dallas” is a 1978 pornographic film starring Bambi Woods. 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 “Texas Cowgirls” cheerleading squad.The fictional name “Texas Cowgirls” was seen as an allusion to the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Woods had previously tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in real life, but was cut during auditions.
The film was highly successful, selling 50,000 copies when it made it to videotape, making it the most successful video release of a porn film in its time. It is regarded as one of the most important releases during the so-called “Golden Age of Porn” (1969–1984), and remains one of the best-known pornographic films. The film is in the public domain following a US court ruling in 1987 that declared its copyright to be lost.
The movie spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs including Debbie Does New Orleans, Debbie Does Wall Street, Debbie Does Dallas Again and the unrelated Debbie Duz Dishes franchise. It also spawned a 2002 Off Broadway musical, Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical.
