Debbie Does Dallas is a 1978 American pornographic film produced and directed by Jim Clark, and starring Bambi Woods.
In a bid to help Debbie, her squadmates Lisa, Roberta, Tammy, Pat and Annie decide to accompany her to Texas.
With two weeks to raise the money, they swear off sexual activity with their boyfriends and form a company, called Teen Services.
In the final scene, Debbie arrives at Mr. Greenfeld's store after hours, in a Texas Cowgirls uniform as he requested.
Greenfeld, dressed in a green-and-white number 12 football jersey (a trademark of Joe Namath[10]), reveals his dream of being the quarterback who makes love to the head cheerleader, and she obliges.
However, this was declared unlikely after an investigation with alumni, and the president of the film's distributor VCX called the rumor "purely inconclusive".
"[3] The decision has been criticized on free speech grounds, but the Seventh Circuit has cited it for the proposition that "confusion about sponsorship or approval, even when the mark does not mislead consumers about the source of the goods," may be sufficient to state a claim under Lanham Act 43(a).
Arno also retained the services of attorneys John Lappen and Peter Berger to combat unauthorized copying of the film.
Before litigation could commence, VCX was required to add copyright notices to all copies of the film and file registration with the United States Copyright Office; however, VCX could not protect the rights by just adding a notice to the video cassette, since one also needed to be added to the theatrical prints.
Both Lappen and Berger concluded the copyright had been lost, and in 1982, VCX terminated their contract with M & A and ceased making royalty payments, but continued to distribute the film.
The court found in favor of VCX, and the judge ruled that "Weisberg's actions had thrust the film irretrievably into the [United States] public domain.
[21] Unlike the original film, the musical did not contain any actual sex or nudity,[21] sparking disappointment among audiences, as false hype had been made and the producers did nothing to dismiss it.
The story, dialogue and characters are fairly faithful, with musical numbers standing in for sex scenes or added for comic effect.
In 2006, VCX employed Media Blasters to digitally re-master from the original 35mm film into a "Definitive Collectors Edition" 2-Disc set on DVD.
